Gilbert has updated his blog and he’s in the middle of making 100,000 shots over 73 days, tempted by Cheetos, and is playing like Chucky Atkins.

On his mini challenge

They thought they saw Hibachi last year? Whooo, man! By the time preseason starts I’ll have put in 100,000 makes. That’s my goal.

On his diet

I’m still on my diet too. It’s going well, I’m ripped baby! Of course I’m still tempted by Cheetos. I just said I’m still on a diet, but I didn’t say I don’t cheat away from the diet. Of course I do. I’m an American! We eat bad!

On his play against the USA Under-21 Team:

I couldn’t jump and stuff them, I was looking like I was Chucky Atkins out there around the rim. The stroke was there, but I was looking like Chucky on the vert.

Gilbert Arenas can add another title to his ever growing resume. Basketball player, blogger, gamer, and now: dance tryout judge. Arenas, Olesksiy Pecherov, and Mike Hall were among the judges to choose the final dancers.

Footlocker, Champs, and FootAction are having a 30% Friends and Family Sale from 7/26 to 7/28.

Most of the Gil Zero’s are already on sale so an additional 30% off means massive savings. Great time to stock up on some Gil Zeros, NCAA Zeros, or Gilbert jersey’s and shirts

For example, you can get the Gil Zero’s in low light gray/blue for $49.99 - $15.00 (30%) = $34.99

The video has been posted before but it’s worth posting again, this time with a full transcript. Inspirational.

Hi, I’m Gilbert Arenas and this is my story,
When I entered the NBA,
the first 40 games of my career I sat on the bench.
They said I was gonna play zero minutes.
You know I just think they didn’t see the talent that I had.
They thought I was a zero.
Instead of sitting there being bitter,
I just practiced, practiced.
If no one believes in you,
anything you do is a positive.
It wasn’t even about basketball any more,
It was about proving them wrong,
Now the reason I wear No. 0 is because it lets me know that I need to go out
there and fight every day.

Looks like Gilbert Arenas wasn’t lying when he wrote in his latest blog that he might join Team USA

You know what, I’m still debating it. Since my leg is healthier than I thought it would be at this time, I might just go out there.

But when the US Men’s basketball team got together today for the first time in Vegas, Gilbert Arenas was no where near Sin City.

Instead, Gilbert was in Washington at the Verizon Center working out with the “other” Team USA, scrimmaging with the U.S. men’s Pan American Games team.
