Gilbert Arenas is never shy about sharing his thoughts with us. He's done everything from predicting game-winning heroics to telling us when his next 50-point game will take place. Now, it looks like Gilbert is just happy to be at the All-Star festivities, and isn't really planning on giving much effort in the game itself:
I don't think I'll ever actually win MVP at All-Star, 'cause I'm always looking around at who came out that year. You don't know who's going to show up. I'm like, 'That's Jay-Z! Is that Bow Wow?! I don't get to see celebrities during my regular days, so at All-Star, I forget about the game. When I go out there to play, I'm not really doing anything; they may as well sub me out.
He's right about that last part, just look at his 0-4 performance and 1 point in almost 10 minutes of action in last year's game. I understand that the All-Star game is an event that's more for the fans than the players, but it's still a little disheartening to hear Gilbert say that his effort will basically match his jersey number. I guess the bright side is that he still seems like a wide-eyed kid when discussing the event, instead of a whiny and jaded veteran.

Sweet Jesus, you need THERAPY man!
He will try this time,because the suns coach will be coaching the west...........
This year, Gilbert will lay some quality shots on Kobe. Hibachi!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Is that Bow Wow," indeed.
Don't blame him, he is still a manchild at heart.
Agent o,may really be it.
Yeah, yeah, Gilbert this Gilbert that. He can thank Allen Iverson for starting for the Eastern All Stars. Iverson had about 600,00 more votes than him before he was traded to Denver. He would have started if he stayed with the Sixers. I liked Gilbert when he was humble and quiet. Now he turning into a loud mouth. Predicting to put up 50 points on coaches he thought that treated him wrong on the World Championship Team. he needs to realize that they need role players. They had enough shooters, but they needed a real guard. I guess if he was in the West he thinks that he would start over Kobie or Steve Nash. Gilbert needs to remember that leave the cheeringrooting to the fans. He spends way too much time trying to convince himself and the rest of us that he is a good player. Tooting your own horn all the time is childish.
Who cares? Just play ball. Thats what you get paid to do.
