Im So Sick and Tired Of Gilbert Arenas

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I am really wondering if all this Agent Zero to Agent Hero junk is getting to this guys head. Once again he make an overzealous statement about being a max paid player. Where does he get off making all of these statements? He recently said in the Washington Times saying, “I’m still going to be the number one free agent. I mean on a bad leg I still average 22.” He then goes to tell to the Washington Times that he will be opting out of his contract this summer, because he thinks he is a “Max Player”. His words not mine.

So is anyone else getting sick this? So he averages 22 points a season for the past two years, but the thing is he has only really played one full season, since he missed so many games last year, and pretty much this entire season. To me Arenas is starting to seem more and more like Stephon Marbury. He has not shown us anything more then 22 points and 5.6 rebounds. I can name of 25 players with those stats that are not even close to max money.

So what is your opinion? Do 22 points and 5.6 rebounds a night deserve max money, like 16-20 million a year money? For a guy that is injury prone, brings drama to the team, and likes to shoot way to much, he sure does not seem like a max money man to me.

But I am not going to hate on a guy that is just trying to get more money. The list of positives for this guy are long as well, but lately his negatives have been outshining everything else this guy is about. I miss the underdog stories about the guy that worked hard to get to the top, but now it seems it has all gone to his head.

What’s a Agent Zero fan of the past to do?
