Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks showcased a remarkable performance during the 2024-25 NBA season, making headlines as they first dispatched the Detroit Pistons and then triumphed over the Boston Celtics in the conference semifinals. Unfortunately, their playoff aspirations came to a halt in the conference finals against the Indiana Pacers.
After their exit, Towns experienced intense scrutiny for his defensive shortcomings, even while maintaining impressive stats. On a recent episode of Gil’s Arena Show, Gilbert Arenas didn’t hold back, criticizing Towns by saying he has the build of a “b*tch” and likening his physique to that of a WNBA player, even mentioning he has “girl hips.”
“Its on KAT himself, t’s him. It’s his physical makeup, long legs, short torso, big-a** feet. There’s nothing he can do. He’s built like a whole fucking b***h,” Arenas said.”He’s built like a female. He’s built like a girl. He has girl hips. He’s like a full WNBA player.”
