Gilbert Arenas: Where TOO MUCH Info Happens


by Marcel Mutoni

I read the latest crazy story about Gilberto Gil a few minutes ago. I will link to it shortly. But before I do, just know that it made me laugh, cry, and reach for my “man area” all at once. You’ve been warned. Here you go:

“When I was new in the NBA the team veterans convinced me to shave, you know, down there, because they said the hair stinks. I used my girlfriend’s razor, which was rusty and gave me keloids. The doctor prescribed medicine to dab on, but I just poured it all over. Three days later I woke up screaming. The skin was burnt off my scrotum, down to my crack, everything — just raw flesh. I still had to run and play, so I used a numbing spray for a month until it healed. Now I use clippers.”

Know what, Gil? Maybe a boring newspaper quote from time to time isn’t such a bad idea. Thanks for the nightmare fuel, hombre.

Oh man. And Holly you know WAY too much about men’s lockerooms. You are so numb to this craziness, it’s scary.

Eboy, the worst was when a player needed therapy because of a “wild night” so to speak. I tried to just shake my head but, that one left my face a little red. haha

No one can ever accuse Gil of holding back from the media.

Ryan Jones says:
For f*ck’s sake.
I am gonna order an Agent Zero next time I’m at a bar, though.

H to the izzo says:
Anyone else tiring of Gil?Or is it just this cranky b*stard?

Feb.7 at 5:37 pm

TADOne says:
I’m not. He is pure entertainment if nothing else.

Feb.7 at 5:38 pm

Sam Rubenstein says:
Is there an adidas shoe inspired by this side of his personality?

Feb.7 at 5:39 pm

Marcel Mutoni says:

Oh man, that is real foul! I feel like the the mad white jamaican after he watched the 2 girls 1 cup vid (pls youtube if you havent seen before - The mad white jamaican that is….not the 2 girls and 1 cup)

H to the izzo says:
On the bright side this does give us limitless “Gil’s scrotum” jokes,for instance:”If Gil doesn’t start participating on D,The Wiz should employ Charles Oakley to punch him in his singed scrotum”.

“Gilbert’s Keloids” is my new fantasy hoops team’s name.

Bigi says:
I use MY blade…

Feb.7 at 6:33 pm

Allenp says:
Wow. A rusty blade in that area should have immediately jumped out to him as a bad area. He needed to reveal which vets told him to do that.

Feb.7 at 6:33 pm

poohbiz says:
lofl, that is great
i love gilbert

Feb.7 at 6:35 pm

Allenp says:
“Gilbert’s Raw Scrotum” is a better fantasy basketball name.

jbn74sb says:
If one demands his females to be hairless, such as myself, manscaping is just a cost of doing business. Baksetball, you know, is one of the few sports where there absolutely does not need to be grass on the field to play ball.

Feb.7 at 6:43 pm

Jake Appleman says:
haha beavis, he said “manscaping.”

Wow Gil. Only you can upstage Shaq. Can Agent Zero’s blogs be converted into the next Will Ferrel bad sport comedy?

If you’re wondering why the nba isn’t going over so well in the red states, the red balls may tell a tale.

F-ing hilarious story, but still too much

Reggie Evans says:
Thanks. I thought of it all by myself. I’ll repeat it and put it in all caps so it doesn’t get lost in the comments: AGENT ZERO PUBIC HAIR.

When Arenas will retire, I hope he’ll write a book. It will be the funniest NBA book ever. As longs as he doesn’t talk about balls without the Spalding logo on it.
