Melody Rae Basketball: Thong Model ‘All For’ Gilbert Arenas’ WNBA Vision [VIDEO]

Gilbert Arenas isn’t apologizing for his comments on the WNBA, and Melody Rae isn’t exactly bothered with that.

The former NBA player -- who basically said women’s basketball would benefit from scantily-clad outfits on the court -- appeared on TMZ Sports on Thursday. Needless to say, he was more defensive than he ever was throughout his career.

Gilbert Arenas Isn't Wrong About What The WNBA Needs

“Okay, I’m trying to figure out what I would be sorry about,” Arenas said. “I don’t know what the big deal is about.”

Rae is clearly aware of what the big deal is about. She’s just not up in arms about it. In fact, she’s partially on board.

 For the Full Video link is in my bio My "Full" Statement #Hoops2Heels Just a fun loving little girl at heart doing what she loves to do!! •"I'm all about empowering women. The ladies in the WNBA dedicate their lives to the game and they should be respected for their hard work and dedication. As for wearing sexy attire as a former athlete and advocate for women's rights If it helps to promote the game in any way I'm all for it. I don't think you have to be in a thong or even lingerie by any means. The reality is women aren't seen as true athletes no matter what we do and sex sells as much as society doesn't want to condone it it's there for all eyes to see. I mean look at this video for instance. We are doing a lingerie calendar shoot and this fun video gets released and goes viral. The fact of the matter is the only reason people are paying attention to it is because of what we are wearing. They watch/replay it and then maybe realize there is actual skill behind what we are doing. I went from hoops2heels so I know both sides very well . I have dedicated my life to ball and also modeling so my standpoint is a little different than most. I believe @gilbertpettyarenas should have taken a completely different approach to this topic but he has freedom to express his own beliefs. I understand what he is saying only because there is beauty, fluidity, athletic ability and grace in the art of basketball which we were trying to portray in this video. This in no way denigrates or detracts from the professionalism of the WNBA! These women are talented and are more than just a pretty face. I will say that we do need a change in some way shape or form because the women in the WNBA are prominent athletes that should have their arenas filled. Whether that be uniforms or something else I'm glad our video shed light on a league that deserves it and I support them whole heartedly."• #grateful #changedmylife @liverichmedia @tamradae @smilepillows

Should the WNBA ever opt for Arenas’ vision, at least they know they have one face of the franchise.
