This course is an introduction to the subject matter and the activity of Gilbert Arenas, starting NBA point guard for the Washington Wizards. The course will emphasize the learned nature of all-star basketball skills from Gilbert as a collective product of the ongoing interaction of individuals and teammates in the context of a dynamic game structure. It presents the basic components of Gilbertology including on and off court behavior, teammates, collective behavior and critiques. Film sessions will demonstrate Gilbert’s skills through cilps of his slam dunks, 3 point shooting, cross overs, and sleek passes. To develop our perspectives on these processes, we will study the development and impact of life on the playgrounds, the endless nights shooting at the gym, being told he wouldn’t see any minutes in college, and how being drafted in the 2nd round of the NBA Draft reflected on his deviant behavior. Welcome to Gilbertology 101.

hey Gilbert, I just wanted to say that yourgames are the best, I like the way you play b-ball.I was looking on some of the things that you do on April fools day and the one where you said you stole a fish took it put the fish on a teammates doorstep and put fire extingusher on so the fish would flip flop,. that was so cruel and mean of you. But other than that every thing else is good. Keep putting up those shots cause that’s what we love you for. but what the girls love especially me is when you take off your shirt after the game ends that’s sexy right there.

Hey Gil. You are my favorite player by far. I look forward to watching a healthy you dominate the NBA yet again for the 2007-2008 Season! I read your blogs and any chance you can predict the wizards to advance to the finals this year? Or maybe maybe You and Caron can take that Shiny All-Star game MVP trophy back to Washington
?
Also, believe it or not I met you personally A few years ago. I had a picture taken with you after the Avalon vs. Montrose Christian basketball game which was at that time at the MCI Center.
Anyways, Best of luck to You and the Wizards. =)

What’s good, Gilbert? You’re one of my favorite players. I admire you, on and off the court. I hope you recover from that injury. It’s been fun seeing you hit shots from damn near everywhere on the court, buzzer beaters or not. I like your defense, and your ballhandling is second to none, honestly. Good luck next season.
OH YEAH. The black and white Gil-Zeros are A-MAZING!
P.S: We sure could use you on TEAM USA
