    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Everyone knows that I’m in to video games and I sponsor Final Boss, my Halo team. Actually, I saw Chris Bosh’s funny commercial … I mean, it set black people back a hundred years, but, it was funny as hell to me still. It was funny, I’m not going to lie. But anyway, it gave me an idea. I have a group of guys, this community, that doesn’t watch basketball and doesn’t play basketball and doesn’t really care about basketball, but they like video games and know me from that.

    MLG was having an online tournament and these 14- and 15-year old kids usually had to scrounge for money to get the money to enter the tournament. They don’t have a ton of loot. If their XBOX breaks, they’re putting it in the freezer to fix it. You know, the old school, “My batteries ran out, let’s put them in the freezer to charge them back up,” move. They do that. So, I decided to pay the entry fee for anybody who enters, plus I added to the prize money. Instead of $50,000 prize money, it’s $100,000 prize money to the winner. So any kid who wants to play the tournament, all you have to do is go to MLGPRO.com and sign up. The only thing you have to do for me is go to NBA.com and vote for me for All-Star.</div>

    here's a concept, if Chris Bosh leads the Raptors to more victories, I'll vote for him.

    I think this is the commercial that Arenas was talking about.
