- If you’re looking for another reason to keep Gilbert Arenas around, Pradamaster of Bullets Forever would like to direct your attention to Finals MVP Paul Pierce:

[...] it’s all I was thinking about as the clock ran out.  I saw Paul Pierce, a star who played for so long on crummy teams, who suffered tons of criticism for hurting the rest of the team with his selfish play, who was involved in so many trade rumors and who visibly showed his frustration, win the Most Valuable Player award, and I couldn’t help but think about Gilbert Arenas.  Imagine if the Celtics traded Pierce instead of keeping him and building around him?  Certainly the Celtics wouldn’t be where they were right now.  Admittedly, Arenas’ situation is different because of the knee injuries, but there are some eerie parallels to their situations.  At 26, Arenas still has lots of years left to get to where Pierce is right now.

I really like the comparison, especially in terms of where Paul and Gilbert were statistically at age 26.  Seriously, check out their number in relation to the rest of their respective careers and tell me it isn’t eerily similar.
