Outspoken Orlando Magic star Gilbert Arenas could be in line to pay another high price Friday for unguarded Twitter comments after he ridiculed his blind date with a series of derogatory tweets from their restaurant dinner table.
A day after confirming he was fined by the NBA for inappropriate comments made on Twitter, Arenas showed little restraint in making his private meal public Thursday night, even posting a photo of his date's shirt after criticizing her fashion sense.
"Got hooked up on a blind date..and I guess she was blind when she picked out this outfit ..OMG I thought she was the queen of ZAMUNDA," he tweeted.
Arenas then went further, posting, "I thought she had a bunch of stretch marks but it was just her shirt..lookn like SIMBA," before covertly capturing an image of her striped top on his cell phone camera.
"Look at this hot mess...she all most caught me takin the pic," he tweeted as he uploaded the image.
Arenas failed to slow up his caustic comments, telling his almost 30,000 followers, "this dragon can eat," before describing her as "lookin like a thunder cat."
His typing from the dinner table did little to endear him to his blind date though.
"She just said this was the worst date ever," he posted, before adding, "She called me a jack ***."
Despite the bad blood, Arenas went on to speculate as to his chances of taking his date home, but was left disappointed.
The repercussions for Arenas could be worse than the criticism he received from a few fellow tweeters, though, with the NBA likely to judge his comments in a poor light.
The league would not disclose the amount of the fine or identify which tweets got the guard in trouble earlier in the week, with a number of tweets potentially falling foul of the censors.
His reprimand came after using his Twitter page to refer to women as "slaves," accuse all single mothers of being ugly and urge his male followers to cheat on their girlfriends
