What do Tiger Woods, Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali and Gilbert Arenas All Have in Common?

They’ve all been made into wax!  Now, if you click on the link that I just posted and don’t see Gilbert’s name listed, that’s okay.  You see, Gilbert’s wax depiction will be unveiled tomorrow at Madame Tussauds in D.C.

So if you’re going to be in the area and you want to see something worthwhile tomorrow, I’d check it out.  Until then, I’m going to open it up to you all to see what you guys think Gilbert’s pose will be for his wax statue.  I’m hoping it’s this:

Gilbert Listens Jay-Z, Lil’ Wayne, Letoya…

Posted by JakeTheSnake on October 29th, 2008

Over at Rhapsody (HT: The Bog) you can check out Gilbert’s playlist with some of his favorite songs along with explanations for why he chose each one.   There isn’t a lot of Gilbert-esque stuff here, but I found this quote kind of funny:

“I haven’t even started listening to Jeezy’s new stuff. I’m so stuck on his old stuff, I don’t even want to be disappointed. He’s just phenomenal for me.”

When you’re afraid to listen to new stuff because you’re afraid it won’t be as good as what you’ve already heard?  That’s dedication.

Gilbert Arenas Named #17 in SLAMonline Top 50

Posted by gilbertology on October 7th, 2008

Gilbert was named #17 in SLAMonline’s Top 50 players. His response to that?

I think it’s wonderful to still be in the Top 50 considering I haven’t played in almost a year. So I’m grateful for that, but if I’m healthy, 17’s not my number

About Obama’s vice presidential running mate Joe Biden:

I don’t know who he is. I’m the only Vice President cause I was the original Black President.

And his idea for a future product:

It’s called the Cool Aid. It’s like the microwave, but the Cool Aid. So for instance you can put a warm soda in the machine and boom, it’s cold. Most people, “Oh no, you call that the freezer”, but nah, the freezer takes two minutes. Just like you’ve got the oven and the microwave, you’ve got the freezer and the Cool Aid.

Check out the whole interview at SLAM Online.

Jeopardy question on Gilbert Arenas

Just think, if any of the contestants had read Gilbertology, they’d be $1000 richer right now.  Better luck next time, I guess.

Gilbert Wants You To Get In Shape

Posted by JakeTheSnake on October 5th, 2008

Apologies for being late on this (I honestly have no idea how I missed this), but over on NBA.com, Gilbert is hosting a competition to encourage people create videos to encourage people to stay in shape.  The videos will be judged by a panel that includes Arenas, and whoever produces the best video gets $2,500 in cash and prizes.

The thing is, you only have until October 7th (that’s Tuesday) to get your videos in, so get to it.  Again, really sorry about not getting the word out about this sooner, but hey, you would’ve just procrastinated until now anyways, right?
