In Gilbert’s latest blog he mentions that he’s going to be writing a book this summer:
I’m writing a book.
It ain’t going to be the T.O. “I Need My Ball” or whatever that book was called. It ain’t going to be the Phil Jackson book. Mine is going to be more like Chicken Soup for the Soul. Mine is going to be like that with more funny stuff. It’s going to be hilarious.
Stuff like, “If you’re a No. 1 or No. 2 pick, why do you need an agent?” Reality stuff like that. You might as well just give your money to Vegas because that’s all you’re doing with the agent, you’re just giving it to him. Because you’re the No. 1 or No. 2 pick, point blank, you don’t need an agent. It’s a slotted system now. It’s not like you’re Glenn Robinson coming out saying “Give me $100 million.” You can’t do that anymore.
So it’s going to be mostly funny stuff like that. Attacking people, attacking the system, attacking critics … stuff like that.
So consider this the place to deliberate on what you think the title of his book will be, here’s some ideas to get your creative juices going:
- Secret Confessions of a Superstar Blogger
- Gilbert Arenas: The Good, The Bad, and The Swaggy
- Trampoline Dunking for Dummies
- Yelling “Hibachi!” in a Crowded Room is a Safety Hazard…To the Other Team
- An Extensive Look Into My Dagger! Collection
- The Definitive Guide to Quality Shots
- Living the Tent Life
- Zero Quit
- Changing in the Phone Booth: Life as an NBA Superhero
That’s all I’ve got, now it’s your turn.

There’s a book called “Zero: The biography of a dangerous idea.”
So I was thinking something like
“Agent Zero: The guide to a dangerous player.”
or sumthing

If you hit the game winning 3 but nobody sees it, did it really go in?

congratulations sam! what size did he send?
and to get back on topic, i read somewhere an idea that i think was agent zero’s himself: “Dropping Things on People is Bad, Unless You’re Dropping 60 on Kobe.”

The Hero on Zero: Gilbert Arena’s megablog(book) about nothing and everything
If you want to make the NBA, read this book
(this catchy title will make trillions before anyone realizes what’s inside)
From Kobe to Hibachi to wasabi: how Japan’s invading our culture
(since the book is gonna be funny might as well have a random title)
