Agent Zero thinks he is god.... he is really wrong

Posted January 16, 2008 on KeeganJM's Blog:
Well its kind of sad, we have another pre-madonna in the making. He had such a great blue collar story and could be a favorite among fans, but Gilbert Arenas thinks he is good enough to think he can just start requesting the world from the Wiz. This is what happens when players have bad agents, they run their mouth and their quotes gets skewed. But in this case the only thing that exists in arrogance, ignorance, and a childish look at what goes on in Gilbert Arenas's head. Plus he wrote it.... Here he is being quoted from his own NBA blog. "I want to get a six-year deal. I want to be a max player. If my team decides that they don't want me here any more and they're going to go in a different direction, then I got to look elsewhere. For me to look elsewhere, I want to go find a championship team who's a championship contender. I'm going to have to take less money, but I'm willing to do that to win a ring. If my team doesn't want me, then I'm going to another team and I'm going to take less money to go there. " AGZero is awesome, not doubt about that. But what kind of money does this guy want, no way he should get anything more then 12 million a year. He is small, prone to getting hurt and likes to kick up drama. He wants to go to a team that is already a contender? Then he will have to a lot less money. Someone must really like instant gratification. The Wiz could easily be a contender in the east, this year or the next. The Wizards are as well one team that could pony up the dough. He just needs to play it cool. In my opinion this was a bad move for him. It just really pains me to hear this from him, I always new he was arrogant, but come on man, let your agent make deals for you. I dont know, maybe I am reading into to it a little too much. What do you all think about him lately?

  • what you quoted from his blog is the exact opposite of what youre accusing him of, confused much?
  • Ummm no, I am accusing him of making demands, when he should not be doing so. I am accusing him of being a arrogant player that thinks everyone should bless him and give him what he wants. Caron Butler has done more with the Wiz the he has. He brings problems on and off the court. That statement is a statement of an arrogant player. So not confused, spot on.
  • i agree with stillatin, you have taken that comment all wrong, that is not him being arrogant, hes saying if his team doesnt want him, not him thinking that his team is not good enough then he will go to another team which is also a contender and hes not just thinking about money, no matter how good he is
