Is Gilbert Arenas going in the path of becoming the T.O in the NBA?

Question

He promised 50 agaisnt the Trailblaizer and he got 8,his worst game

Is not that i dont like him! he is one of my favorite players.

Answer 1

i sure hope not! i happen to like agent zero. i thought it was stupid when i read his blog saying he'll score 50 against the blazers and even more stupid that he scored less than 10 in the actual game! i also thought it was totally uncalled for that he put all the blame on his coach for their loss.

hmmm.... sound familiar??? it does sound like something very T.O.-like and this better not start becoming a pattern for gilbert. i read that eddie jordan and jamison talked to him after the game so lets hope he's learned his lesson before running that big mouth of his. its one to be funny and cocky, but its another to be an a**hole. T.O. is an a**hole, but gilbert is not... and he better not turn into one either or he'll lose a lot of respect around the league and from fans like me.

Answer 2

well lets hope he is the T.O of the NBA, trash talking is a long standing part of sports, only in recent years has it become a subject of how terrible someone is. TO offends some of the more "Sensitive" viewers and and players in the NFL yes, and he plays with a chip on his shoulder, and he doesnt take crap from anyone. but really what is wrong with that? he produces year in and year out, he is always near the top of the stats, but he talks. the same goes for gilbert Arenas. MJ talked trash all the time, magic johnson, wilt chamberlain, Shaq, dominique wilkins, clyde "the Glyde" Drexler, scottie pippen, all the greats in the NBA talk trash, usually they follow through, but not always. Lets not forget Lawrence Taylor, jerry rice, Brian Urlacher, Chad Johnson, Bill romanowski, ronnie Lott, all of these players talked trash. if fact Ronnie Lott is credited with Bill Romonowski's bad attitude. one day in practice when they both played for the 49ers Romo got punked in practice by the great John Taylor. Ronnie pulled Romo aside and informed him that if that ever happened again Ronnie would personally whoop romo's a$$. he would hurt him. ronnie informed Romo that he is on defense it his job to punk taylor not the other way around, defense calls the shots offense is just there for defense to hit. so really what is the issue with these guys talking trash? the game would be boring without it.

Answer 3

you have have been given to be kidding me good? I as quickly as fell in love with Gilbert 3 seasons in the past, while he averaged 2 steals and a pair of threes... yet those days are long long gone. Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Nash, Paul, Howard have all had equivalent or extra acceptable seasons for longer periods. Arenas has the expertise... yet he has to tutor he has the well being to be interior the best 3. he's comparable to McGrady in that component.

Answer 4

Arenas won't be the T.O. in the NBA because they aren't similar. TO had problems with other teammates and other ppl. Arenas on the other hand is liked by his teammates. Arenas is posting huge stats and TO can also post stats.

If this is a question about being a bust, I think arenas should be compared to some other player. First player in mind is Ricky williams when it comes to bust when he went to the weaksauce league.

Answer 5

Not sure what you mean...
If you mean a guy who opens his mouth a lil' too often, is perhaps overly brash... then there are similarities. But x10 to get to where TO exists.
The guaranteeing 50 was idiocy, and funnier than hell that he only hit 9.
What I was less impressed with was that he blamed it on Eddie Jordan, telling the press that 'coach wanted him to focus on defense'. Weak. You make a guarantee like that, and fail miserably, have a laugh about it & move on. Heaps more kudos to those that admit their shortcomings.

Answer 6

let me be the first to tell you this, he is not a t.o and he will get 50 on their next meeting. I am his biggest fan and you can not touch a hair on his head because he is not everything people are saying of him.

Answer 7

no because "hibatchi" is very likeable, he is friendly, but at the same time he's very cocky, he said he was going to put up 50 on the blazers.....BUST he had nine points, for christs sake, Lamarcus Aldridge (from the great university of TEXAS) outscored him by six, and guess what he's a rookie, i guess right now, i don't think that "hibatchi" is at that "TO" level of people not liking him, from what i hear, "hibatchi" is a pretty nice guy,

TO should just keep his mouth shut and try to win football games, i mean, he sucks at a WR right now, he led the league in dropped passes, who he probably blamed on Romo or Bledsoe, he tried to kill himself, he called jeff garcia "gay" he criticized D. McNabb for being tired, in the last couple of plays in the Super Bowl. and countless other dilemas, that probably was kept inside the "clubhouse"

TO BE HATED YOU MUST BE A FAIRLY GOOD PLAYER, "HIBATCHI" IS GOOD, BUT NOT YET HATED, TO IS HATED BUT NOT GOOD, THAT JUST MEANS HE'S A BAD PERSON IN MY EYES.........that's just about all i gotta say

Answer 8

I thought Ron Artest was still in the league.

Answer 9

no, he's going to be his own kind of criticized player. i agree with these other people that he is a nice guy, but he's gonna hear it from his critics. ps. he scored 9 not 8

Answer 10

They are both very smart. If i was them, i would keep it up cause that's what's bringing in the money! So to answer your question, yes, and lovin all the drama!
