"You don't have anything better to do?!" Part 1

LOL. I have to start this with a "laughing out loud", but its not so much because its funny, but because there's nothing you can do about it. When someone priviledged does something so stupid, I usually say:"doesn't he have anything better to do?!" Granted, there have been 500 million examples of this, and we see a few on the news everyday, and even one of my previous blog post (Brittany Murphy) could qualify. However, I'm going to give the inaugural "you don't have anything better to do" post to one of my favorite bball players (who apparently was dropped on his head at some point) Gilbert "Agent 0" Arenas.

If you follow hoops, you've known about Gil since his days at Arizona. Gilbert went from being a second round pick to one of the highest scoring (and highest paid) superstars. He was praised for his eccentricity, and his blog was very popular as well. Then everything went sour when he hurt his knee.

Fast forward 2 years: Gilbert misses the majority of the past 2 seasons after 3 knee surgeries, though he is on a new 111 MILLION dollar contract. He works his way back, even though you can see signs of rust, and the Wizards aren't playing too well. Then ESPN breaks a story about him storing guns in his locker (which is against NBA rules). Then this morning a story breaks about Gilbert Arenas pulling out a gun on his teammate ON CHRISTMAS EVE, who pulls out a gun while trying to collect a gambling debt. Really?!? This brings up a few questions in my mind. Gilbert, I believe in your right to protect yourself, but who is going to rob you in the locker room? How much money do you owe? Why are you so disgustingly rich, and so disturbingly stupid? DIDN'T YOU ALREADY LEARN YOUR LESSON ABOUT GUNS?! The teammate that also pulled out, Javaris Crittenton, is 22 and making 1.4 million dollars this year. So that leaves us with 2 under 30 millionaires, getting paid obscene money to play a game, and they still feel the need to pull out guns on EVERYONE. Drumroll please...................YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?!!! Apparently not.
