Ken says:
Really, there are times when its a bit hard to take him seriously. I like eccentrics, but at a certain point you just wonder if he does things because he’s starved for attention.

WTF?!?!?!

Mar.26 at 9:22 am

maio says:
NEWSFLASH 2009: “Hard to believe that this time last year, the leading scorer for the expansion Oklahoma Hijackers, Gilbert Arenas, almost committed suicide by driving his motor vehicle into - and I quote - “a pole”. Gilbert was saved that day because words of Young Jeezy appeared to him in that hour of despair. Ironically, nobody was there for Young Jeezy when earlier this year he committed suicide for reasons officially undisclosed, though sources close to the artist revealed these might have involved “sucking at rap”.

Squirrel7 says:
Anyone else sick of Arenas’ desperate attempts at diverting all the attention to him, rather than to his team-mates who are coping perfectly well in his absence?! In fact, anyone else sick of Arenas in general?

Gilbert is that spoilt annoying attention craving child screaming at the mall’s foodcourt.

Mar.26 at 9:31 am

TADOne says:
I could make tons of jokes about this, but I just can’t. This man admitting he was thinking about suicide is quite disturbing. He may seriously need some help.

ok..thats it…Gil…shut the eff up….get well and get on the court….damn i share a birthday with this guy…..

Lz - Cphfinest3 says:
TAD, Gill was never seriosly thinking about suicide, he has to much fun playing paintball and sun-bathing in the limelight to go down that road. Just another “look at me I’m special moment” from him.

You may be right LZ, but if he was trying to garner attention this way, then he still needs counseling, just a different kind.

Whistler says:
This is NOT - i repeat NOT - NBA history.
Some egocentric eccentric, attention whore, good but not that good NBA player looking for attention?
Come on!
How many millions is he earning again while being sidelined? That is sick! And he “thinks of suicide”.
What a douchebag. Get a life Gilbert, or at least a brain !

That’s true TAD, lots of hours on the couch is needed - Tony Soprano-style.

WhaHuh says:
This is a horrid article with poor quoting. I went to read his blog- it was about his anger not suicidal thoughts and he said that. This news/rumour section has got out of hand when you set up an article for ridiculing suicide. I really expected better from SLAM

the great thing about Arenas (and his blog) is how honest he is, so why hate? Everyone has those spur of the moment over reactions, maybe not about suicide, but thats all it was, what would be crazy and disturbing is if he didn’t acknowledge he’s sane and wouldn’t actually do that

Mar.26 at 12:08 pm

bobby stew says:
Gil is just silly. I have met plenty of silly people like this in my life. There may be something behind his silliness but he’s just silly.

Oh Gilbert. You probably should not admit this out loud, and yet it’s here in print. I think you may defending this for quite some time.

Anyone stop to think that maybe Gil isn’t just looking for attention, and that he may actually have a serious problem and that this is his way of crying for help.

eddie griffin comes to mind. not saying those two are equal in any way, i just don’t think suicidal thoughts should be taken lightly. although i have to say this blog is starting to turn the mass against him, at least on these boards.

Mar.26 at 1:41 pm

Stewie Griffin says:
What an imbecile. Yeah, earning $11,946,667 per year must take such a toll on you Gilbert, I truly sympathise. It’s true, money can’t buy everything, in this case a brain.

just a reminder, Young Jeezy is no where close 2 mediocre.

You’re right. He’s an abomination.

eyehatedirk says:
Nah, Jeezy raps on the remix to that song. I’m not sure how that verse spoke to him/changed his mind about not wanting to kill himself. “I’m in my cool whip insides jello, hop up out that pretty mother***** like hello?” Nothing Young Jeezy ever said made me want to either live or die more, then again he claims that “he ain’t even a rapper”.

Mar.26 at 4:00 pm

John E. Sanford says:
Damn, I knew Gil was unique, but when eyehatedirk puts Jeezy’s “lyrics” in perspective,….wow. How is that sh*t life-altering?

Mar.26 at 4:49 pm

Jeezy is an acquired taste.. I used to think he was terrible but there’s a time and place for him. Gilbert was obviously not being serious.

the hell? i mean, i aint the biggest jeezy fan myself, but he does have his moments of motivation…that particular verse though? not one of them…yeah, gil is a weirdo.

Is Gilbert a whore for attention ? Yes. Is Mutoni whoring the Internet, citing out of context and phrasing misleading headlines ? Hell yes.

I think he just lost his mind…hope the doctors dont keep him out another week or it wont matter what verse he remembers from jeezy…I can see a 9mm bullet going through his head right now…

Mar.26 at 8:27 pm

RV says:
Eddie griffin was a completely different guy, he had several risk factors for suicide, Gil, is just missing playing ball, yeah he may get paid big money, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love basketbsll for the game itself

Mar.26 at 9:16 pm

Ethan says:
man, i knew from LeBrons’s lecture in the playoffs at the stripe that he was sorta easy messed up in his head but this…no,..no..I dont know if I even believe he’s this nutty, plus I seriously doubt listening to anything jezzy says is gonna stop somebody from killing theirself, but thats just me.
GO KOBE

Gilbert Arenas is a retard. I don’t mean that in a vengeful/player-hating way. I mean that in a….his brain doesn’t work properly kid of way. He’s basically p-ss-ng his career, like-ability and general life against a wall.

Dacre says:
He’s not dialled in correctly. I talked about this after the season started and he got RSI from shooting something like 35,000 shots in the offseason. Stupid. All the while his strength and conditioning was not being catered for; what happened? he goes down with a lower body injury. He should quit blogging (we hear you Mark Cuban) and focus on being an athlete - thats what he gets paid for… the Wizards are playing well enough without him because he’s not a focused team-mate. He’s more stand-up comic than anything else…maybe he should be on “how I met your mother with Britney”… http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/ny-etbrit255625314mar25,0,3278038.story

Gilbert Arenas is truly something. What other player would write such things?
It’s a mixture of awe and disappointment for me.

Mar.26 at 11:11 pm

tealish says:
Oh, and I forgot to add that I love the part where he writes “plus, I’m sane. I’m a sane person, I wouldn’t do that to myself.”
It sounds like he’s trying to convince himself of this… Try as you may, Gil, but I think even YOU are starting to see the crazy in Gilbert Arenas.

This is kind of a slap in the face for everyone who unfortunatley are seriously thinking about suicide or in a state like that. To have a man with everything, fans giving him love everyday, a job which is simply just playing his hobby, and, (I know it still won’t make someone happy but it’ll help) a whole lot of money, seriously think about suicide. I mean, If Gil is, how many other people are. I don’t know, maybe it’s just the injury, or maybe something in his personal life but I think he’s got life pretty good. Aside, I’m still a good fan of Gil, get well soon.

Mar.27 at 1:19 am

will says:
By the way if it is the injury, he should take a good hard look at himself and think about the people who can’t move due to injury or have lost a limb etc. Seriously, it wasn’t even a full season, then again it might not be the injury.

Mar.27 at 1:23 am

will says:
And if he is just being silly, that’s just shamefull

Alpha-bet says:
This jsut in..Gilbert Arenas, not happy with the Washington Wizards doctors, pulls a Chad Johnson and says he will refuse to suit up for the organization..With the advise of his spiritual advisor Young Jeezy, he will retire from basketball. Some unnamed sources said they have spotted him in what is called “The Trap”
