I say Etan for president. That being said, hope he his recovery will go smoothly. And Arenas? Well…. I heard there were some trade rumors surrounding him and Kobe. That would NOT be a good deal.

Does the back flip, jump off the roof story and ensuing injury suffered explain Agent Zero’s present-day craziness? I think so……………..

This story proves that Gilbert the child was an idiot.

Why isn’t Etan posting his ever entertaining open letters on here anymore?

great story………In another game as a junior, Arenas scored 46 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and had 10 steals and 14 assists — in basketball parlance, a quadruple-double.

and the part about breaking up with his girl after he signed his contract is pretty funny

Man, i’m an even bigger fan of Gil now. My life story sounds a lot like his, without the whole Arizona/NBA millions/paintball adventure stuff. Sadly a lot of us grew up without dads, but growing up w/o a mom is crucial. I went through that til I was 6 (blessed to have a mom since then who never felt like a step-mom) and it’s cool to see someone overcome that. It’s inspiring me to get off slamonline and actually work towards something… lol

Yes…Agent 0 is the best. Although I never noticed his scar. Guess I need to take a closer look next time.

Am I the only one who noticed the person’s screen name above Mr. Bengston’s? What does that mean? Can it be coincidence?

It’s probably a coincidence,Eboy but I don’t really care

Holly MacKenzie says:
I just spent far too long reading through some of Gil’s older blog posts.. um the one about dropping his daughter? Or the one about SInbad being dead? This cat KILLS me. honestly, Gil you are unreal. on a side not and completely unrelated: For anyone who hates the show punk’d, please youtube the justin timberlake snl punk’d parody. Both Ashton and JT make me crazy but wow this skit cracks me up.

The girlfriend thing is PERFECT. girl deserved that and worse.

Russ Bengtson says:
I’d also like to say that I don’t understand Etan Thomas sometimes. Was it really that wrong of Ivan Carter to assume that a problem that led to OPEN HEART SURGERY could be a career-threatening event? And was it wrong for him to bring up other basketball players who suffered from heart ailments? I feel like Mr. Carter was doing nothing more than expressing concern for Mr. Thomas’s well-being. Is that so wrong?

Holly MacKenzie says:
I think it is all an awful misunderstandingm Russ. A misunderstanding that NEEDS and deserves to be forgotten and most importantly, forgiven.

Etan seems to have a few of these “misunderstandings”

Tarzan's Jane says:
Why eboy, what coincidence could you be refering to? LOL!

white hot eboy says:
Are you really her, Jane? And do you actually know how odd he is if you truly are? Or is he just that way while he’s here?

wtf?

See, I knew it was too good to be true.

great read on gil…i feel like i’ve heard or read his story so many times and it only gets better to me and more inspiring. And I think Etan bugged, but it’s just someone who has a forum to express his opinion, doing just that…
