Gilbert Arenas - Page 3

C: The most improved player award in ’03, did you take that as a badge of honor or a knock against your skills?
Gilbert Arenas: You know what’s so funny, if you would’ve heard my press conference, I was like, “truthfully I don’t deserve this, Trent Murphy deserves this.” He got better. I was always good, (laughs). But I’m going to take the trophy anyway.

C: Would you consider yourself a shoot-first, pass-second point guard?
Gilbert Arenas: When I look at that, and this is for our “experts” out there, when they call me a shoot-first point guard, and I’m like, am I the only shoot first point guard in this league that ever had two players that scored 20 points a game? Yes. So If I’m a shoot-first point guard, how do I have two other players that average 20 points? And no one ever realized that. I said name another scorer that averages the same amount as me that also has two players that average 20 points. You will never find one.

C: Do you think point guards need to be that way in today’s game?
Gilbert Arenas: Today, yeah because you need an all around. You need your guards that can score because it helps out everybody else.

C: So you mentioned that you’d opt out after this season what cities would be your top choices to play in?
Gilbert Arenas: L.A., San Antonio, Dallas, Houston

C: Could you’d play with Kobe?
Gilbert Arenas: Yeah. Cause mentally I’m strong enough to play with him. I don’t think everybody’s ready for his mental challenge.

C: So you don’t think he’s a cancer?
Gilbert Arenas: You see with Kobe I don’t pay attention; I already know his game because he’s a mental person. So I can deal with that because I know, I’m a mental person too. So I know if he says, “Gil lets work out for 3 hours,” I know the only thing he’s trying to do is, go 3 hours so I can quit. He’s not there to make me look better or make me better. He’s there to put me to quits so I know, it’s up to me to last 3 hours.

He sure seems to like Texas.

For the vet minimum.............COME ON DOWN!!!!!!

[ChumpDumper]

Trent Murphy?

[SRJ]

I like GA a lot. But I don't think he'd fit in here real well, and frankly I'd be afraid to try.

[E20]

Thanks.

That makes the "Trent Murphy" thing even funnier.

[Scola Trade]

Sign & Trade for Beno

[Obstructed_View]

Um, not just no but...

[IceColdBrewski]

Shoulda drafted him the first time he was available. I remember screaming at my television when the Spurs passed him up. Could you imagine a core of Duncan, Manu, and Arenas? That's nasty good.

[remingtonbo2001]

I like Gilbert. He's talented, but I don't see him fitting in, not in any way. He can score, but I see this merely as Gilbert trying to get top dollar.

[Joe Schmoogins]

"I would like to thank God for giving me the man power and the heart and mind to stay up and keep playing Halo to the best of my ability." -Agent Arenas

Sounds like a Spur to me. Sign him up!

[thispego]

ya'll dont seem him fitting in? do ya'll know gilbert arenas personally? I just see him on tv and he looks nice enough

[PM5K]

Yeah that cheater...

[baseline bum]

Shoulda drafted him the first time he was available. I remember screaming at my television when the Spurs passed him up. Could you imagine a core of Duncan, Manu, and Arenas? That's nasty good.

That would have been awesome, but not as good as Duncan, Manu, Parker.

Good to see IceColdBrewski revving up for the season.

[The Truth #6]

I don't think Arenas would be bored by the slow pace here. Of course every other reason for him to come here makes no sense...

[hater]

that. arenas is fun to watch but will never, ever, ever, ever win a championship. he is a ballhog

[MrChug]

I like GA a lot. But I don't think he'd fit in here real well, and frankly I'd be afraid to try.

You're damn right. EVEN for the minimum.

[T-Pain]

yeah if only the Spurs front office didnt have their heads so far up their ass on foreign players...but o well, Parker is good.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Does he have the discipline to play within the Spurs' system? Would he make the sacrifices necessary to win like the Big Three do? I'm not sure...

I like the guy, he's quirky, speaks his mind, and he's one uva 'baller, but I think this is pie in the sky stuff. He'll go to a big market for the max.

[Mark in Austin]

That would have been awesome, but not as good as Duncan, Manu, Parker.

[Big P]

If he was a vet looking for a MLE deal, then I would be all for it, but I know that he is looking for a MAX deal & since we have the guard spots covered, GA would not be money well spent.
