Armed Agent Zero

By now, I'm sure you all have heard about Gilbert Arenas and this whole gun incident. Its a pretty crazy thing and I think anything dealing with guns has to be dealt with in the most serious senses. Gilbert is currently suspended and part of that is because he is not of "sound mind." Anyone who follows Gilbert knows he is a jokester/prankster and has a sense of humor. However, this is not something to make light of. I know he's trying to be "positive" instead of carrying a depressed demeanor, but the proper reaction is of a serious tone. Of course, in this world, who are we to dictate how a person reacts or what is "proper". However, in this situation, there are responsibilities, representation, and proper etiquette that needs to be followed. My opinion is any "prank" or "joke" that deals with guns is not going to be funny at all. It just got me thinking this is one thing behind the scenes that got exposed. Imagine all the other things in the NBA and other pro sports that are happening behind the scenes. One of Gilbert's nicknames is Agent Zero. Supposedly the guns were not loaded-->"zero" ammo. Ergo my title, Armed Agent Zero.

On another note, I think Gilbert is a very talented player. Before he got injured, he was a beast. He was scoring, hitting game winners, and ballin. He got more serious this year and not wanting to talk much. He worked hard over the summer to rehab. By all accounts, he was looking good and was going to attain his previous greatness. He's been okay with some flashes of his old self. He has been more "serious" this season and not wanting to talk much. In fact, he used to have a blog that he no longer does. I can remember actually enjoying reading his blog. A more "serious" Gilbert this year. Too bad he wasn't serious for this situation.
