NBA LIVE 08 Cover Athlete Gilbert Arenas to Host the NBA LIVE Summer Camp

Posted by gilbertology on August 28th, 2007 in News

EA Sports has a press release out of their NBA LIVE Summer Camp, where players will be brought in to capture their go-to moves and paired with kids, aged 5 to 17, who would not otherwise be able to participate in organized sports due to financial barriers.

NBA LIVE 08 cover athlete Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards) will host the NBA LIVE Summer Camp taking place at EA Canada in Vancouver, B.C. on Wednesday, August 29. Along with Arenas, NBA stars Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics), Josh Howard (Dallas Mavericks), Monta Ellis (Golden State Warriors), Shawn Marion (Phoenix Suns) and Randy Foye (Minnesota Timberwolves) will be on hand to have their go-to moves authentically represented in NBA LIVE through motion capture.

But by far the most interesting part of the press release is that Gilbert will be bringing out the HIBACHI:

NBA LIVE Summer Camp, open to the media but not to the general public, will provide the NBA players the opportunity to get their first look at NBA LIVE 08, give feedback to the development team, and get them on the court for a little friendly competition. As an added bonus, Arenas will pull out the hibachi and grill lunch for his guests.

    Gil is so funny he is quoted saying NBA Live was fake and he only plays NBA 2K7.
