Former Wizards star Gilbert Arenas has never been shy about airing his thoughts on Twitter. In fact, Arenas’ stream of consciousness blasts have kind of become the stuff of legend — you never know what’s going to happen or who Agent Zero will throw under the bus.

Terrible, just flat-out terrible. You know how the RZA pronounces the word “ridiculous” at the end of Kanye’s “So Appalled“? Yes, that. That applied to this Washington Wizards team. I’ve seen a lot of bad Wizards/Bullets, teams, but this year’s squad has the unique distinction of being one of the worst in franchise history, yet also filled with the most hope. Winning percentage-wise, the current Wiz Kids are tied as the sixth worst in franchise history, and tied for the fourth worst in my lifetime following the franchise. Let travel down memory lane, shall we?

Gilbert Arenas? Mike Wise? Sports radio? I had some idea that the combination of the three would result in something pretty amazing, but, really, I had no idea.

1988 was a great year to be 13 years old and living in the Washington D.C. area. In March of that year, I saw Michael Jordan play in person for the first time, as his Chicago Bulls played the Washington Bullets at the Capital Center in Landover, Maryland. Jordan scored 25 points, but there were none of the fancy breakaway dunks I had come to appreciate — still it was a thrill for me to see the man play just a few hundred feet away.

People have called Gilbert Arenas a gunner in more ways that one. Now it’s probably time to stop.

Preseason NBA basketball is some pretty boring stuff — which means the the spotlight is all on Gilbert Arenas with his latest head-scratcher. See, the Wizards had their first preseason home game last night (the phenomenal John Wall had 19 and an awesome coast-to-coast layup, by the way) and before the game, Arenas told head coach Flip Saunders that he had a sore knee. Arenas had been complaining about a achy ankle recently, so Saunders scratched Arenas from the lineup and started Nick Young in his place. Young led the team in scoring with 24 points and the team won by 15.

Which apparently Arenas took as the cue he needed to admit that he wasn’t actually hurt.

Reporters were camped outside Gilbert Arenas’s Great Falls house this morning, waiting for Agent Zero to return home for the first time since he entered a halfway house 30 days ago. Arenas has now completed the first part of his sentence for felony gun possession, which also includes two years of probation, 400 hours of community service, and a $5000 fine to be donated to a fund for victims of gun violence. Whatever you may…

Andray Blatche, who’s played great basketball in Gilbert Arenas’s absence, told the Associated Press, “Gil’s going to come back next season humble.” The best that Wizards fans can hope for is that Gilbert Arenas comes back next season fit. He’s had plenty of humbling moments in his career. Who can forget when LeBron James iced Agent Zero at the free-throw line in the Eastern Conference quarter finals back in 2006? And it’s not a lack…

Some details on where and when Gilbert Arenas will begin his punishment for gun crimes are beginning to surface. According to a report released by the Washington Post this afternoon, Gilbert Arenas will spend a month-long community service sentence at the minimum-security Montgomery County Pre-Release Center near Kensington, MD. Arenas, who pled guilty to felony gun possession charges back in January, will arrive at the facility in the “not-too-distant future” according to Montgomery Department of…

While GIlbert Arenas managed to avoid a jail sentence on handgun charges yesterday, his NBA future was still in doubt. That is, of course, until Washington Wizards team president Ernie Grunfeld took the mic this evening. Speaking to the press before tonight’s game against Utah, Grunfeld confirmed that the team would not be voiding Gilbert Arenas’ contract. According to Wizards blog Truth About It, Grunfeld confirmed that “Gilbert’s part of this organization, he’s part of…
