More People Follow the WNBA Than Gilbert Arenas Thinks - We all know Gilbert Arenas was dead wrong for putting down the women of the WNBA, trying to shame their looks and suggesting that they play their games in bikinis. Without dressing down the way the former NBA star wants them too, the WNBA has done just fine, attracting some big names courtside throughout the years in the process. Power 105's Angela Yee asked who's watching the games on The Breakfast Club this week. Well, everyone from President Obama to Lil Wayne and Floyd Mayweather has checked out the women's action and that's just the beginning. BET.com lists a bunch of celebs who do appreciate women's hoops. Take that, Gilbert! Agent Zero!(Photos from Left: Joshua Roberts-Pool/Getty Images, Kevin C.
