<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the legend of LeBron growing exponentially and the myth of Washington having the better team in this series about shattered, Gilbert Arenas found solace in the only force of the universe that mattered to him at halftime: superstition. That's right. Arenas, mired in a slump that would have him miss 11 of his first 14 shots, was convinced his uniform was at fault. He completely undressed, head to toe, at halftime and tried to buck any false notions or fallacies. "I changed my shoes, my shorts, my shirt, my tights, everything," Arenas said. "That first uniform was bad luck for me." He put on new kicks. New jersey. New shirt. New tights. New game. His game. He stole it from James and the Cleveland Cavaliers last night at Verizon Center, took it while they were sleeping in the fourth quarter. When the most defining moment of the Wizards' maddeningly inconsistent season was done, Arenas had outshot and outperformed another young gun, the 21-year-old they call the Chosen One. Nike's main man. The Golden Child. LeBron James, the player who is not only entrusted with saving a crestfallen sports town from its own self-loathing but also an entire league in need of a torchbearer. After living off free throws and deep three-pointers that resuscitated a lethargic Sunday night crowd, after erupting for 28 second-half points, Arenas was essentially asked if it was psychologically tough to watch James detonate for 25 first-half points -- basically take the game over -- while Washington's resident all-star chipped orange paint off the rim. "This is LeBron's show, you know," Arenas said through a babykins smile. "We're all just -- we're just all witnesses."</div> Source
How can you not like the kid? He's hilarious and he has a lot of positive to look forward to in his life, not just his career.
gil sparks the nba man, league would be boring without him, and hes finnally getting his signature shoe next year, and i cant wait to see his own adidas commercial... FINALLY, i hope appearing on tv's, dropping 30's a game, being a hero in the 4th quarter will get enough fans to vote for him in the next year's all star game
