Gilbert Arenas: The SUPERSTAR SCORER draining 40 footers BEFORE DAMIAN LILLARD | FPP
Спорт
In his prime, he was one of the top scorers in the NBA, but a knee injury derailed his career at a time when he still could have improved. He was a threat to go for 30 or more on any given night and wasn't backing down to anybody. Gilbert Arenas began as an unlikely star on a deep Arizona Wildcats team alongside Richard Jefferson, before showing quick improvement on the Golden State Warriors. Even though he was a second round pick in 2001 NBA Draft, just like at Arizona, he proved the doubters wrong by winning most improved player in his second season. And his short lived time in Golden State saw him pair with young guys like Antawn Jamison. Larry Hughes and Jason Richardson. After two years he was a Washington Wizard as he was brought to inject life into a team transitioning out of the brief Michael Jordan era, and although they featured Jerry Stackhouse, injuries held him back and Arenas got to take the reigns. After 4 years in Washington he was a 3 time NBA All star and one of the league's brightest young stars as one piece of trio consisting of him, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler. But then at the age of 25 a knee injury took his prime from him and he was never the same. He would get himself in a serious locker room gun incident with teammate Javaris Crittenton, before being replaced by a rookie John Wall. After that he would spend half a year with the Dwight Howard led Orlando Magic and a bit of time with the Memphis Grizzlies, before his career came to an end at the age of 30. Fans only got a small taste of what a healthy Gilbert Arenas was capable of, but in a different era of basketball he was the predecessor to Damian Lillard.

Yes he was
Michael Adams next !!! he was a scoring machine 🔥
Gotta do one on Antawn Jamison too
Gil really was the first Damian Lilliard, a PG averaging 30 pulling up from 30 ft, I know knee issues played a role but Gil left "The Hall of Fame" on the table, HE WAS THAT GOOD!
Never can forget agent zero.. it’s crazy what it could have been!! He was a great player and a real problem to the guards of the nba!! He could give a class on how to continue your dribble .. heart of a lion
It's a shame there is no good footage of my Wizs Big 3
The injury got the best of him, and his game as a memory is dwindling, but his mouth and podcast I guess is keeping his flame alive for now!

For whatever reason NBA 2k8 had Gilbert Arenas style of play down pat. Then it wasn’t even there anymore in the following games. I guess they was just throwing shade at NBA Live.
Dopest nickname in NBA history ""Agent Zero"
I hope Gil gets to watch this. This is a great video
Can't forget this dude...... His podcast..... This dude be trippin!!!!!! Talking shit about Hakeem....

Crazy part is Gilbert stated it wasn’t the knee it was his mind he lost his confidence. Gilbert was amazing I think he rushed back too soon I honestly think Gilbert should have taken 18 months to two years off. I also think Gilbert should have converted to a six man role a team Like Miami could have used him in the 2010-2012 seasons
It's not that I forgot about Gilbert, I just didn't remember this much. Thank you.
gerald wallace nxt pls!
George Lynch, Anthony Peeler and Sedale Threatt next 🙂
I would love to see a forgotten player profiles video for Ralph Sampson and Deron Williams.
Larry Hughes played alongside great scorers and legends as a complimentary roleplayer for his entire career. For what it's worth He was a good player that deserves a video.
Lol bro trying to get Gil to react to his video 😂😂😂😂😂
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I love it please keep them coming. Can we get John Starks. Oh and Antoine Jamison
One of my favorite players of the 2000s!
I love your films man!
He slammed Hakeem Olajuwon about how he was having guys pay him a lot of money to hurt his foot work, and he was saying that foot work is outdated in the NBA today and Ralph Sampson, his teammate even called him out and said that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Devin Booker reminds me of him in terms how he can catch fire in a instant

Nahh i say Arenas was a Dame/Harden hybrid
‘No chill Gil’ was one of my absolute favorites in the mid ‘00s. I had his jersey and a pair of his signature adidas sneakers. I started shooting deep 3’s because of him. I remember being so disappointed when he declined so rapidly. P.S. A suggestion for another one of my favorite ‘00s player is Deron Williams.
These videos are so much fun to watch. I would love to see one on BJ Armstrong , Dan Majerle or Nick Anderson. Just to name a few. I could go on forever with 90’s basketball.
Keep em coming 🔥🔥
Arenas was a “ Gunner “
Gil was that dude. The older he got the better. Like a fine wine.

Gilbert Arenas' heyday was all too short. He lost his place in the NBA due to his own scandals. Still, the Wizards were a lot of fun to watch when they had Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antawn Jamison.

Anybody that disrespects legends of the game while having a non hall of fame career deserves to be forgotten. No bigger clown out there.
Gilbert scored all those points with the help of MAGNETIC technology
For those saying Gilbert isn’t forgotten, he sure is. Many people of a certain generation only know Gilbert for his basketball takes, those kids need to be educated on what Gilbert actually was at his peak.

He was a poor defender and lacked efficiency for the amount of shots he took ,if anything these kids will see his highlights which only show the good side of his game
When Washington trade him his career was over
Gilbert in the current NBA would literally be as big as Harden
Richard Jefferson Kyle korver Latrell sprewell Dem next
not sure if you have done Darrell Armstrong.... he had a good story. Great undersized athlete....who scrapped out a respectable pro career. Played well in his 30s.
Bro what I didn't know he avg 29ppg 6apg 2steals in his prime on 37%3pt
i forgot Arenas signed AFTER '08 season, i assumed it was after '07 season...
Washington Wizards and giving point guards max deals, what a good unfortunate mix. Arenas with knee issues and gun incident, Wall tearing his achilles at home. Great players don't get me wrong, i even have an agent 0 wizards custom jersey, but unfortunate.
Rex Chapman plz
Dude was good for 43 mins a c- player

HE WAS A HECK OF A SCORER. A POOR MANS KOBE WITHOUT HIS DEFENCE. OR A FAR SUPERIOR LAMAR ODOM AND LOWER ON DEFENCE THAN THEM.

@silewis9396 I went to grant also when i was there he was a senior 98-99 . My son godfather in my opinion was all around bball player I wish he made it . Gino Riney took the throne at grant after Gil graduated as a sophomore gino average 33 a game on varsity. I can't explained what happened with gino bc it was sad 😔 but in 3 years you'll see my son Ballin like gino guaranteed. Gilbert made it he's my boy also but gino was like watching iverson in high school basketball.
Still thumbing ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Even tho I'm not necessarily superstitious...I know a lot of athletes that are and it's mind over matter. So when u go messing up the routine 💥 BOOM something happens

god i miss the wizards gold colourway looked so much better then the current colourway
Yeah Jamison would've been a better pick here. Glad to see your still following the knucklehead format for success
how is this guy a forgotten player he has a podcast thats on everyday
Gilbert was never a superstar 😂. He was great for like 2seasons , and even then he was just shooting more than everyone else to get his points
Yeah, yeah, it's a very exciting short story on a short career full of potential and what if's . But he still sounds like a bitter and jealous hater on his Podcaste while talking about other players who had more productive careers than his. Bruh made his $. He should be happy with that. But as usual, his overly opinionated attitude just keeps getting in his way.
In my opinion Arenas was and it is still to this day highly overrated, he has a very poor FG%, he avereged 9/20 - FG/FGA and that tells me he was a ballhog and that he needed a large volume of shots in order to gain numbers. Ideas for future videos, forgotten players like : Truck Robinson, Brian Winters, Purvis Short, Xavier McDaniel, Terry Cummings, Jeff Malone, Fat Lever, Michael Adams etc.

@@moneyman4740 Fair enough what you're saying but those guys that you've mentioned had consistency, they would put up similar numbers no matter the club...Gil appeared to be more of a guy who cared about his numbers than winning, i mean i don't want to fully downplay the guy, he was a 2nd pick overall ffs 😂, he was excellent given the context but he and some of his fans act like he's in top 100 nba players in history, like he had unique talent...when it's not the case. I don't see Arenas being better than cats like Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Mark Price or Kevin Johnson, not HOFers but solid players to say at least. Gil was more like a Deron Williams, he had a spectacular and meteoric rise.
