Gilbert has a nice sense of humor about his injury as he writes in his latest blog.
About the worst part of his injury:
I think the worst part about it was that my Internet connection wasn’t acting right last night so my video game session wasn’t working. It kept kicking me offline so I didn’t actually get to fully play.
So, when you’re injured and video games is your life and you can’t play it, it just makes the injury that much worse.
On what he told the doctors to do:
I told them to cut the leg off a couple times. You know, cut it off and then bring it back to me when it was all healed.
On his plans to give away 6,000 signed shoes and 20,000 signed jerseys:
I had a plan that was going for the first game of the playoffs. I had ordered 20,000 of my jerseys to give out.
Since I have so much time on my hands now, I have the jerseys and I have 6,000 individual Gil Zero shoes that I’m going to be giving out to my fans. Because of my injury, I’m not going to make my fans suffer.
I’m going to start getting ready to sign them and then I really don’t know how exactly it’s going to work, but they can check out GilsArena.com where they can fill out their information. It’s first-come, first-serve so the first 6,000 will get an autographed shoe by me, and then same thing with the jerseys.
This is for my fans to enjoy a gift for their support of me this season.
…
I’m going to try to keep the love of the game going. That’s why I’m still going to have my jersey giveaway. To keep everybody excited.
I’m going to keep everybody posted on how I’m actually going to do it, but most likely you’ll have to log in and provide your information and address and then I’m going to ship them off – 6,000 Gil Zeros and then 20,000 jerseys all signed “Agent Zero.”

I was saddened by the news of Gil being hurt and out for the next 3 months. I finally had gotten back into watching basketball because of him and now I won’t even get to see him play. Oh well, I will just have to sit back and root for the Wizards anyway!

The free give away is a class act. You hear so many negative things about celebs, this deserves alot of attention.

yea it will be a class act when we actually get it. Not saying he wont send us jerseys and shoes because he most likely will but he cant say anything until we see proof. Hopefully we all get something out of this.
