Gilbert Arenas Is Generous, Will Give You His Bobblehead For Xmas
The most entertaining guy in basketball is admittedly cheap in his latest blog post:
“I’m going to go to F.A.O. Schwartz this weekend to go get me some toys for the little ones. I’ll probably go ahead and take my wheelchair up there. They got the good toys there. I’m going to go do some shopping.
I don’t really do shopping usually though. I learned early, ‘If you ain’t going to get me nothing, I’m not going to get you nothing.’
When you’re an athlete, entertainer or whatever, people just assume that you’re supposed to buy them gifts and then when they don’t get you anything in return, they’ll hit you with the excuse, ‘Oh, you can get yourself anything.’
Oh, really?
We used to have a team gift exchange and they started getting mad at the gifts I was giving out. I gave Larry Hughes a bobblehead of me one year. I’ve also given out highlight tapes of myself. I give big, signed pictures of myself so they can look at me over the summer. You know, big ones that they can put on the wall or put it in the family room. That’s the kind of funny gifts I do. I don’t want to go out there and spend no money. I thought rich people were supposed to buy other rich people funny stuff, but they stopped doing the gift exchange because I wasn’t playing by the rules.
We used to do the same thing at Arizona. I’d ask the video guy to make me a highlight tape, and then I’d be like, ‘I know we’re going to miss each other over the Christmas break … So, here’s a highlight tape of myself! You go ahead and watch this.’ “
Only Gilbert Arenas can get away with this stuff. It’s like the type of gifts that I gave to my family and friends when I was seven. A fifteen minute massage, a picture of you and I, 60 minutes of Jen love. And by “seven” I mean 24. Aaaand, I think I just realized why my family hates me.
I can only hope that Gilbert gives his girlfriends these things though. Or at least his dick in a box. For some reason I can completely imagine him doing that. “Merry Christmas baby. This year, I got you TWO gifts- a limited edition Agent Zero signed AND personalized sticker poster for your wall, and my dick in a box baby. You don’t even got to beg for it or nothing. You been good this year.”

I graduated from University of Arizona. I am sport obsessed, and another of my favorite things would have to be traveling. I backpacked by myself through Australia and Fiji for almost 4 months… and would probably spend the rest of my life backpacking the world if that was at all possible. I have gone bungy jumping and sky diving- you’ve got to try them!
