<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A 2001 Monte Carlo sits in the garage of Gilbert Arenas' upscale digs in Great Falls. Arenas does not need the vehicle. He never drives it. It just sits in his garage collecting dust, although he has re-painted it, equipped it with a larger engine and added new upholstery and rims. Darnell McCondichie, Arenas' childhood buddy, has given the thumbs-up sign to the changes. "It does look better than when I had it," he says. The vehicle was McCondichie's pride and joy until he lost it to Arenas in a game of Halo 2 on Xbox in Los Angeles last summer. Arenas pretended to be a novice at the video game until he and McCondichie agreed to bet their respective vehicles on it: a Cadillac Escalade vs. the Monte Carlo, straight-up. "He beat me real bad," McCondichie says. "It wasn't even close." Arenas had his newly secured possession shipped to the District and has been thoughtful enough to send photographs of it to his buddy this year. Or perhaps those photographs are the basketball equivalent of a taunt. "Darnell has a year-long bus pass," Arenas says with a proud grin. That is not really true, of course. McCondichie used public transportation for a spell before purchasing a 2005 Yukon. "He even offered to lend the Monte Carlo back to me to help me out," McCondichie says. "But I had too much pride for that. He is just being retarded." </div> Source
The guy is hilarious, gotta be one of the nicest NBA players in terms of fan interation, very laid back too.
Gil's a hustler, I thought that was kinda mean but as you can see hitting the League and being successful hasnt changed him, thats why he's such a good player and im assuming friend.
