In Bill Simmons latest column, The NBA from LVP to MVP, Part II, he says that in 10 years from now, Gilbert Arenas will be the first player that pops into his head when discussing the 06-07 season.
Below is what Bill Simmons wrote of Gilbert Arenas (who ranks as #10 in his MVP list):
His breakout season as a superstar included a nickname (”Agent Zero”), a catch phrase (”Hibachi!”), an overall philosophy (”Gilbertology”), a consistent hook (an inordinate amount of big shots), a Hall of Fame YouTube clip (the one in which he beats DeShawn Stevenson in a shooting contest with one hand), and even a groundbreaking creation (his entertaining blog on NBA.com that included an enlightening opus about how he felt misunderstood by the media). Maybe those things didn’t make him the MVP, but they definitely made him the most memorable star of the season. We need more Gilberts in sports. Whether he’d be fun to play basketball with … that’s another story.

i am glad someone actually recognized gil. He is always looked down on and someone actually needs to give RESPECT to hi. He deserves it! He has worked his butt off this season for his team!
