    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Away from hoops, Gilbert is just as competitive. In fact, the man admitted to me that during the offseason he spends up to eight hours a day on Xbox Live. During the season? Arenas needs to rest that shooting hand, so Hibachi is only online about an hour a night after his games.

    Halo 2 is the man's game of choice, and Arenas is so addicted to the game, he not only plays, but he puts his money where his mouth is and even sponsors one of the most dominant Halo teams in the world, Final Boss. "I've sponsored them for half a year now," says the baller affectionately known as Agent Zero. "They are the #1 Halo team. They lost this year, but they have been the #1 Halo team for the last four years."

    And how do Gilbert's skills match up against his hired guns?

    "If you measure from one through ten, I'm a negative seven against them," says Arenas, who also adds "if you see these kids play - I never realized how good you have to be. You actually have to have a special talent - to see things and hear things. They can hear things you can't hear on a videogame - you'd be surprised. They can hear little things that make them that much better."

    Gilbert is also quick to point out the differences between competing in the NBA as opposed to professional gaming tournaments.

    "Truthfully, you have to be smarter. They are much smarter than us. Their eye and hand coordination is very fast. I actually thought I was a great Halo player, until I saw them play. It's just like playing high school basketball compared to the NBA."</div>
