Welcome to Awesome
Just when you think Gilbert Arenas can’t top how awesome he is, he goes and does something awesomer.
This the coolest thing ever. As if we needed another reason to love Gilbert Arenas.
What’s your favorite part of this story?
A) Gilbert taking awesome to another level.
B) The idea of thinning the air in his house.
C) The road tent.
D) The military dude and week of hell in San Francisco.
E) A Gilbert Arenas billboard in downtown DC.
I’m sure Lang will have much more on this tomorrow. Wizznutzz probably will too.

Gilberto is straight Gangsta, He’ll probably end up teaching online courses to Omar during halftime this year.

Gilbert Arenas is my main man. He should be the official player of the Links.

Gilbert doesn’t have the word “complacency” in his vocabulary… If LBJ or even VC had this kind of somewhat “nutty” yet strangely effective motivations–damn. or imagine someone like shaq. he’d probably have 8 rings by now.

Lance Armstrong does that with the tent to get ready for the Tour. The WR Anthony Gonzalez from Ohio State does it too. They had whole TV feature on him called “Boy in the bubble.” I like Gilbert more than both of them.

series. First time i could appreciate Mr. Arenas skills, and i’m impressed.
Ok, Ok. I’ve been a player for 18 years, have every slam magazine since issue 2, but i can’t remember reading something as strange as “gilberto’s” high alt. house remake. apart from issues concerning the worm and Oak. Can’t a millonaire afford trips to colorado anymore? (oh forget that, look what MAMBA 24 did on his summer trip down there.)
That said, for a nigerian baller living in cool switzerland, i truly enjoyed the 05/06 Cavs-BULLETS
Btw. Lang? Great job and congrats on the newer and faster website. You guys at slam deserve huge bonuses every year.
Holla

I love that man. He will be deadly this year. Scoring title is not out of reach.

“That was the immature Gilbert two months ago.” A lot of growth can happen in 2 months.

The best part of the piece is this: “No wonder coach Eddie Jordan said last week that he hadn’t spoken much to Arenas this summer because he could stand only so much “Gilbertology.”" I wonder what this thinning of the air costs? Also, how does one even hear about companies that do this kind of thing?

i also nominate Gil as the official player of the Links. I live in the Bay Area and I’ve never once heard someone coming to SF to train with some hardass military dude. it almost seems like an oxymoron. San Francisco? the place that despises war and is probably proclaimed as the softest place in america? maybe Gil heard about this guy when he played for GSW? his gangsta scale is off the chart. this article had just propelled him as one of my fav player of all time.

There’s nothing he could do that would surprise me anymore. If I read tomorrow that he’s converting his garage to a “moon environment” and occasionally working out in zero gravity, I’d just shrug.

The dude truly is eccentric…but i love him. By far the funniest baller in the league..

The great thing about it is, that he’s rich enough to do all those things and just look wierd. He he was some bum on the street who walked up to you and started busting out with all of that high-altitude air-house and road tent, you’d put a solid hand on your wallet and book it as soon as possible. But that’s what money can do: when you’re poor you’re crazy and when you’re rich your eccentric. I wouldn’t mind some eccentricity myself though…
