For those in the Philadelphia area, Undrcrwn has announced the pre-release launch of the Adidas Gil II Zero x Undrcrwn shoe at the UBIQ store this Saturday. In addition, UBIQ will be giving away some signed Gil II Zeros in a raffle to some lucky fans.

The SacBee has a short interview with Gilbert Arenas about his blogging. Did you know, the NBA edits some of the things he says?

I did a steroids one, about, “How can you not think (Roger) Clemens is on steroids?” And, “He looks like an Escalade truck.” They took that out. They took a Michael Vick thing out. But other than that, whatever goes on, they’ve already filtered through it.

SI.com has an article wondering if Gilbert mislead the Wizards on returning from knee surgery too soon against the Bucks. For what it’s worth, the Wizards say it was expected.

“We always said that when Gilbert was ready to play, he was going to play. He felt ready the other day, and he came out and played. We didn’t feel slighted at all.” - Mike O’Koren, Assistant Coach

You’ve probably seen the picture of the shoes before, but Undrcrwn has now released some official photos of these ice cold Gil II Zero vs Undrcrwn shoes set to release in the next 2 weeks.

Gilbert Arenas is unconventional. What other athlete asks the team to resign him to a paycut? That’s exactly what Gilbert told reporters last night before the Washington Wizards took on the Los Angeles Lakers. The only stipulation is to resign Antoine Jamison.

“We’ve been together six out of my seven years. I told him, whatever he wants, give it to him, and I’ll take the pay cut.”

For those Wizard fans breathing a sign of relief, don’t celebrate just yet. Arenas also implied he would take less to play for a championship contender.

“Going to a team like the Lakers, Dallas, any championship team, I’d have to take a pay cut to go there,” Arenas said. “The pay cut is, if I leave I have to take a pay cut, if Antawn comes back, I’d have to take a pay cut.”
