You might remember in Gilbert’s latest blog that he talked a lot about his hairstyles.  The following video has a lot of footage from his Warrior days, that shows the different hairstyles that he had throughout his time in Golden State:

A few weeks ago, Hardwood Paroxysm came up with the idea of getting some bloggers to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant today.  The idea behind it was to allow some of the “haters” one day to show some respect for his immense talent.  Originally, I decided against posting something about it because:

Remember that sweet dunk Jason Richardson used to win the Slam Dunk Contest against Rashard Lewis in 2003? Yeah, that was all Gilbert’s idea:

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):
