Here’s some highlights of Gilbert Arenas (who won MVP honors) and Jason Richardson at the 2003 Rookie-Sophomore game (the sound and video don’t sync up well, but it’s not the worst thing in the world):

You’re reading this and probably thinking “Here we go again, another random Arenas joke” but this is different. There’s a site called Garbage Time All-Stars (which I found via The Basketball Jones) that produces a weekly comic strip about the NBA. A few weeks ago they did a comic about Gilbert and his blogging:

You can check out the rest of it here.

A blooper is defined by Merriam-Webster as “an embarrassing public blunder” so can someone explain how jumping off a trampoline and successfully completing a between-the-legs dunk is not only considered a blooper, but the 3rd greatest blooper in All-Star history?

Gilbert’s got a new blog entry out today, first matter he discusses is the Shaq trade:

It makes sense to me because they never had a post play. They never had somebody they can throw the ball into in the post. As much as they run and gun, all those years they couldn’t get far. They’ve been having nice records during the regular season, but once playoffs hit they got hurt by post play.

He’s a big fan of the Shaq trade, but you can’t say the same for the trade for Pau Gasol:

The Lakers stole Pau Gasol. They hi-jacked him. That should be a crime. You don’t give away Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and a rookie. I don’t care what’s out there, you can get more than that. You gave away a $100 bill and you got back two nickels and a dime.

Gilbert talks about teammates Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison making the All-Star Game and he gives out some props for Baron Davis who just missed out.

BD is my man, hundred-grand strong. He worked so hard on his body this year, coming in in shape and what he did for the city of Golden State last year, bringing a team that was down under and beating the No. 1 team in the Western Conference and he’s basically doing the same thing he did last year.

I’d give him some flack for the whole city of Golden State thing, but he makes up for it with this brilliant point about David West making the All-Star Game:

That’s going to be the coolest jersey ever though … that David West jersey for being a Western Conference All-Star … West on the front, West on the back. That’s going to be the bomb jersey.

You know that jersey is going to be added to Gil’s collection.  But is he going to be adding the role of 6th man to his résumé?

I’m the one who said I wanted to come back as a reserve because I didn’t want to mess up the chemistry of the team. Right now, we have a lot of chemistry from that starting group and we don’t really get a lot from the bench because they’re inconsistent. I just thought that when I come back, it would be easier for the team if I come back as a reserve. I know a lot of superstars out there would want to just be out there and be the man and would mess up the team just to get back in the lineup, but no, it’s about more than that. It’s going to be winning time. Eventually I’m going to ease back into being a starter – three games, four games, who knows – but I’m going to start off on the bench.

He also talks about the Super Bowl and his experience with a rusty razor, but don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself.
