Can it get any better for Gilbert Arenas right now? The Wiz may have lost at Toronto yesterday, but if you’ve been paying attention, that was almost inevitable after the week Gilbert (and the team) just had.
It started early last week when Arenas was named Player of the Month for December. It continued on Wednesday when Agent Hibachi scored the game winner as the buzzer sounded against budding rival Milwaukee. On Friday he scored 35 points and dished out 12 assists as the Wiz took down the visiting Clippers. Then the real fun began later that night at his birthday bash at Love. And while some of us attended Mayor Fenty’s inaugural ball over the weekend, we were shut out of the real party, so we’ll have to join the masses in reading all about it and wondering what might have been. And then to top everything off, today Gilbert was named Player of the Week for the Eastern Conference. Like woah.
Gilbert and the team now have a few nights off before they tackle the surging Chicago Bulls at the Phone Booth on Wednesday. They end the week on the road against the Nooch and San Antonio.
