During his brief dominance in the league, Gilbert Arenas could easily make an impression on the fans. So, even after his retirement, it is most likely a formidable challenge for anyone to beat Agent Zero. However, just days ago, he was challenged by famed rapper and YouTuber, Melli Monaco.

According to the bet, the duo would play three sports, including a 1v1 basketball game. While Monaco had her Porsche 911, Arenas had a big cheque of $1 million placed on the bet. Whoever wins the bet gets to keep the prize. Well, it’s not surprising, but Arenas dominated in two out of the three games. He also cake-walked the basketball game during which he was also labeled as a cheater. As seen in the clip, Monaco complained that Arenas kept fouling her. Following this, there hasn’t been much information on their final game.

After days of their game, Arenas finally opened up about the game. Recently, the former NBA player sat for a special Christmas YouTube live to communicate with his fans. As one of the questions asked him about the final game of the challenge, Agent Zero suggested that Monaco might be scared of losing her challenge. He replied, “That’s what I am talking about. She bullsh**ing. She is scared..hopefully, it’s this week I gonna go ahead…I have been practicing Bowling a little bit.”

What are the other games Melli Monaco and Gilbert Arenas played?

As mentioned earlier, there are two things up for the bet. However, the rule is both Arenas and Monaco have to get through the thrilling ‘three-sport’ challenge. The other sports are tennis and bowling. But there’s another special element of their challenge. Monaco only needs to win just one sport to win the bet and the $1 million prize.
