On the live stream he was seen wearing an OKC Thunder jersey, but when Pacers won the game, he immediately put on an Indiana Pacers' jersey and started celebrating the win like a die hard fan of the team.
The dual nature of Arenas though perceived as hilarious by many, several fans did not like his earlier comment on the Pacers. There was another angry comment on the live stream post saying, 'how many titles gilbert retire with?'
For context, Arenas never won a single Championship trophy in the 11 seasons he played from 2001 to 2013.
Some fans even went ahead to say that Arenas does not have knowledge about what a championship team looks like.
While the underdogs Pacers are showing their magic on the court, their strong fandom is out there supporting them through and through. With the NBA Finals Game 2 approaching, it remains to be seen who will lift the trophy in the end of the series.

"She absolutely annihilates me": Draymond Green's shocking revelation about his mom proves his trash talk DNA in a candid way
Image credit: Draymond Green/Instagram Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green's latest revelation about his mom confirms that Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's dad is not the only one to have embarrassed him in a houseful stadium during a match. Green has revealed his mom, Mary Babers-Green, not just criticizes the opponent team but also his team—and the one who faces her extreme wrath is Green himself. Draymond Green on his mother's trash-talking habit During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Draymond Green revealed, "My mom, since I was a child, has been the mom who, like, from the stands, she yells, 'You suck!' But the thing about my mom is she talks bad about all the players on my team. She kills them. But she absolutely annihilates me.' He also gave examples of how his mom would snap at others' kids, but they wouldn't mind her words upon realizing how she treats her own kid in public. 'I've always heard the stories where in the beginning a parent would almost want to get snappy at her and as they continue to watch, they realize how badly she talks about me. They're just like, 'Oh, that's not a problem what she's saying about my kid,'" he said.

She wouldn't talk to me for days after I did that. She'd be mad at me as if I did something wrong.' Green often finds himself in controversy over his verbal remarks. Before the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, Draymond Green was fined $50,000 by the NBA after a video showed him "making an inappropriate comment that questions the integrity of game officials."

Tyrese Haliburton claps back with brutal comeback after NBA Finals heroics, sheds ‘most overrated' label
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton is having a legacy-defining playoff run, sinking a fourth game-deciding last-second shot in their playoff run to take game 1 of the NBA Finals over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pacers trailed for the entirety of game 1 at Paycom Center, but Haliburton's jump-shot with less than a second left put his team in the lead, and sealed an upset victory. Haliburton, who was voted as the most overrated player in the NBA in a poll taken of players and coaches during the NBA regular season, has flipped the script on his personal standing by leading the unheralded Pacers to the Finals. This wasn't something that Haliburton has forgotten, and is in fact using as a form of motivation. Speaking to ESPN basketball analyst Scott Van Pelt after game one, Haliburton brought up how he has been on the receiving end of severe criticism throughout the season. 'The other night on my show, I put my hand up and I said, look, I was late to the party on it,' said Van Pelt about the Pacers and their remarkable run. Haliburton was happy to take Van Pelt's apology, but also fired back at some of his critics by pointing out that many high-profile names were still bullish on downplaying the quality of the Pacers team. 'You're a real one, but a lot of your counterparts won't admit that now.' Pacers, who had reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2023-24, started the 2024-25 season with a 10-15 record. However, a 12-3 run over the Christmas period put the team back on track for the playoffs. They have made a mark in the playoffs by beating the Milwaukee Bucks and the one-seed Cleveland Cavaliers in five games each, before winning the Eastern Conference by beating the New York Knicks in six games. Through the Pacers' run, they have impressed with fluid, lightning-fast basketball, supercharged by Haliburton's playmaking and best-in-the-league passing ability. While Haliburton had an off day in game 1 vs OKC, scoring 14 points and gathering only 6 assists, his ability to guide his team to a win leaves the team in a strong position at the start of this crucial playoff series.
