<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> Good friend and neighbor Jimmy Johnson was an Eagle Scout. Which is to say that he’s always prepared — even for preseason NBA games. Jimmy is the king of the online hookup. So, when he saw the Wizards would play an exhibition game against Dallas at George Mason, Jimmy worked his magic to obtain seats, one of which was courtside. And Jimmy was in post-season form fora pre-season game.</p> Gilbert Arenas played in the first half, but was sitting in the second half, keeping busy by untying teammates’ shoes and other assorted pranks. During a stoppage in play, Arenas was casually scanning the crowd when Jimmy caught his eye. By flashing the box to the Halo 3 game.</p> When Gilbert saw what it was, he lit up in a huge grin. He flashed three fingers at Jimmy — asking if it was Halo 3. Jimmy gave him “thumbs up” from across the court. Then he pointed at Gilbert, took out a Sharpie and pretended to sign the box. Gil nodded in response and mouthed something that seemed like “after the game.”</p> Then Gil called over the towel boy. And during the next time out, the towel boy came over to Jimmy, cast a furtive glance over his shoulder to make sure none of the coaches were watching, and asked Jimmy to put the game in the towel. Which Jimmy did. Jimmy also slipped in a little something extra.</p> “What is that?” the towel boy asked.</p> “Something for Gilbert,” Jimmy replied.</p> The towel boy shrugged. He was just the smuggler, what did he care? He delivered the contraband to Arenas and whispered something to Gil. Arenas opened the towel, held up the Halo box surreptitiously,and looked over at Jimmy.</p> “For me?” he mouthed.</p> Jimmy shook his head “no” and signaled for Gil to sign it. So, like a kid trying to avoid getting caught with a Sports Illustrated during physics class, Gilturned his bodyto shield the Halo box from assistant coach Randy Ayers (who was sitting next to Arenas), and signed the box.</p> Then Arenas pulled out the surprise gift — a massive pair of granny panties, size 10x. Upon which Jimmy had written, “My grandma loves Gilbert Arenas.” Except he drew a heart instead of writing “loves.” Jimmy even took the time to color the heart bright red.</p> Arenas was puzzled. As play continued on the court, he forgot about assistant coach Randy Ayers sitting right next to him. He frowned at Jimmy. Jimmy gestured that the panties were for Arenas.</p> About this time, the rest of the Wizards players sitting on the bench noticed Gilbert holding upginormous granny panties. Which Gilbert happily passed around to the rest of the team –let no one say theman is selfish. While play carried on, they laughed uproariously. Somehow, the coaches seemed not to notice.</p> After a few minutes, the panties came back to Arenas. He tucked them (and the Halo box) into the towel, and passed it down the bench to the towel boy. But, perhaps there was a translation problem, because Oleksiy Pecherov opened the towel, saw the Halo box and the Sharpie, and tried to sign it. The towel boy was alert, and swooped in for the evening’s best block.</p> A few minutes later, the towel boy came back across the baseline, avoided the scanning gazes of the coaching staff, and delivered the package to Jimmy. Who opened the towel and removed…the Halo box. And only the Halo box. Arenas had kept the granny panties.</div></p> </p> http://kevinbroom.wordpress.com/2007/10/16...andmas-panties/</p> Ahahahahahahahah.</p>
Hilarious. These are the type of inside stories sports writers should pursue and not the fabricated drama the majority write about now. Thanks for sharing.</p>
