Watching a totally uninspired and overmatched Nets team getting pushed around the court on a Friday night gives yours truly time to catch up on his reading. And as you know from reading this blog and looking at the list of my favorite sites, Newsday is a big fan of Gilbert Arenas and an even bigger fan of his blog.
His latest entry is vintage Gilbert. First, he explains that he's got a new catch phrase after he shoots. Hibachi is out; NACHOOOOOOOOOOOO is in. "Serving chips and dip," Gilbert explains.
Buried at the end of the entry is Gilbert having a few laughs at Stephon Marbury's expense:
Back to the Stephon Marbury laughter again, huh? I think everyone loves laughing right now. It’s comedy to me. It’s not like, “Uh oh, here come the Knicks again…” It’s just laughter to me.
The part that I’m laughing at is that the part that he was on the flight to Phoenix, left and went all the way back to New York and then showed up in L.A. I know you got fined $200,000 so that is an expensive trip. What’d you go home just to take a nap? For $200,000, I say you suck it up and go take a nap at your hotel in Phoenix. I’m not going to take a fine like that to go home and sleep in my own bed.
Everybody knows this is going to be an on-going situation. This is the same guy that was screaming “We got Zach Randolph y’all!”
It’s just funny to me. I don’t mean to pick at the man, but it’s funny to me.
That's why we love Gilbert.
