AGENT ZERO’S BLOG UPDATE
In his latest blog entry, Gilbert Arenas touches on a wide range of topics, including Penny’s return, a visit to Beyonce’s concert, the “Interview of the Century,” his rivalry with Richard Jefferson and so on…
On Penny’s Comeback: “I’m one of the happiest guys around now because my favorite player is coming back to play… That’s my favorite player growing up. In my room I probably had 600 pictures up on my wall and 575 of ‘em were all Penny.”
How About Reggie: “I really liked how he finished that year and walked away from the game. But I guess he’s sitting there, analyzing all these games and he’s tempted thinking, ‘Man, I can go in there and hit a shot!’ Sometimes, as fans, you just want to see them leave with that last hurrah.”
Gilbert also talked about attending his college roommate Jason Gardner’s wedding over the weekend. He said he “kinda paid for the wedding” becasue he couldn’t decide on a gift. Although he ended up paying for the wedding, Gilbert did have a great time bragging with Richard Jefferson and trying to “out-do one another.”
Agent Zero Takes on Jefferson: “For some reason, he thinks he’s better than me. He can’t fathom that he’s only the third best player from Arizona, and I’m No. 1. He just hates that I’m No. 1. He hates to see me on my own video game, he hates that I’m a three-time All-Star, he hates the fact that he only got a bronze medal … all of that. He is bitter about it.”
Meeting with Beyoncé: Last Thursday, Beyoncé came into town to perform live at Verizon Center. Gilbert admitted that he’s not a concert goer but was impressed with the way she sang the whole thing and entertained the crowd… (that reminds us what Gilbert does for the basketball fans). He also got her autograph on a Wizards No.1 jersey with “B-E-Y-O-N-C-E†on the back.
Best Interview of the Century: How good is this? Gilbert even watched the “Marbury Interview” on YouTube 12 times. Mr. Marbury was asked how he would lead the Knicks offense with the addition of forward Zach Randolph. Here is what he said on TV (around 1:25 in the video):
“Oh, man. I think I am gonna average like 10 points, like 12-13 dimes, like 2, 3 assists, …(pause)… and about 4 or 5 rebounds…”
Gilbert’s Reaction: “And I’m like, ‘What?’ Last time I checked, dimes and assists were the same thing. Then he answers his cell phone in the middle of the interview.”
100,000 Shots In The Making: “I’m at 42,720 makes right now, which is 5,000 ahead of schedule, but I’m going to take two days off to rest my shoulder a bit.”
