Arenas: Reaction from Curry, others 'hurt' Nate Robinson more than KO

Nate Robinson's knockout loss to YouTuber Jake Paul late last month drew plenty of reaction online, including a number of tweets from NBA players like Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell, and Evan Turner.

Former NBA guard Gilbert Arenas thinks the jabs Robinson received from his peers hurt more than losing the boxing match.

"I know Nate personally. I know what type of person he is; he's a fighter, he's fierce. He doesn't back down," Arenas said on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast with Shannon Sharpe. "I know because of the Currys, the LeBrons, everyone laughing - that probably hurt his soul. I think that hurt more than the actual fight, losing to a YouTuber ... But it's your peers, you feel like you let them down. As a big bro to him, the letdown is if you don't get back in that ring."

LeBron James didn't tweet about the bout, but Curry responded to a tweet from Robinson saying he was "gonna shock the world."

While Robinson hasn't said whether he intends to fight again, boxing legend George Foreman has offered to train him for a potential rematch against Paul.
