Gilbert Arenas wrote in his blog that he wants another cover on SLAM:

SLAM Magazine has a color way too for my new sneakers so, I’m going to put it in their heads now, if they have a color that means I’m going to be on my next SLAM cover. It has to be. You can’t have your own color of my shoe and put me in the back of the book! You have to put me on the cover, right? So right now, we already know, that I’m going to be on my second cover with my new SLAM shoe.

SLAM’s Lang Whitaker got to the bottom of it with an interview with Gilbert in NYC as they talk about the SLAM GilIIZero Collaboration. Unfortunately, a lot of it is edited for secrecy. Gilbert does give one interesting story about finally getting his favorite player’s autograph after writing about Penny Hardaway on his blog.

Well, it was amazing, because I put a blog in about him being my favorite player, and he called me. I was like, yeah, right, this isn’t Penny Hardaway. And then we started talking, and he was like, “Well, if you ever need anything, let me know.” I was like, alright, how about sending me about 14 of your jerseys?
