LeBron Overrated, Rated Over Gilbert Arenas
So the verbal barbs were barbered between Gilbert Arenas and LeBron James to christen the Wizards-Cavaliers series, although the counterbarbs by Cleveland were done not in words, but in second-half points. So Cleveland begins with the series lead after with a 93-86 victory in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs first round. And as is the customary "braggin' rights" ritual, Gilbert Arenas awarded a celebratory big sandwich to the Cavaliers bench. More »

Free Darko On Cleveland-Washington
We're looking at every NBA Playoff series through the eyes of both Free Darko and Basket Bawful. Here's Free Darko's look at the Cleveland Cavaliers-Washington Wizards series. Your author is Bethlehem Shoals.
Technically, this is the third year in a row that the Wizards and Cavs have met in the first round. In 2006, LeBron reminded us that he could do no wrong, even as he tackled the playoffs for the first time. But Gilbert Arenas refused to back down, matching James's iron-wrought majesty with fiery whim. Cleveland won in 6, and James marched on, but it was this series that put Arenas on the map.

Welcome Back Everybody!
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who secretly wishes that the NBA regular season was even longer. When he's not formally requesting that David Stern institute a 300-game season, you can find him engaged in thrilling intellectual debates regarding fart jokes at Basketbawful. Enjoy!
Agent Zero is back! Unfortunately, he must have left his swag at home. Hibachi scored 17 points on 5-for-9 shooting in his return, but the Wizards choked up a nine-point lead in the final 7:23 and lost 110-109 to the Bucks on a buzzer-beating jumper by...Ramon Sessions?! Yes, Ramon Sessions, whoever that it. (Oh...he's a rookie out of Nevada who's played in only nine games this season. Hope that clears things up.) Washington was leading by a point with 1.1 seconds left but failed to get a defensive stop when Royal Ivey inbounded the ball to Andrew Bogut who tossed it to Sessions who iced the game like an Eastern Conference assassin.

Agent Zero, Care to Speak Freely?
Gilbert Arenas offers up his refreshing honesty to Sports Illustrated writer Ian Thomsen about life as an NBA-er, being an unabashed weirdo, and the problem-players that inhabit the league. You know, like, Tim Thomas. More »
In a story reminiscent of King Solomon, Gilbert Arenas would rather waste $800,000 on Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball rather than see it branded with an asterisk. Somehow I don't think Marc Ecko is a Bible reader. [Sox & Dawgs]

Our (Brief) Interview With Gilbert Arenas
Yesterday, on invitation from the fine folks at EA Sports, we talked to Wizards zuperstar Gilbert Arenas at the NBA Store in Manhattan for exactly seven minutes and 16 seconds. Here's a complete, exact transcript of the interview, which was almost entirely about his blog. We didn't take a picture, because we thought asking someone to shoot one would be helplessly dorky.

Gilbert Arenas Wants To Help Your Love Life
During a moment of boredom last week, we caught an episode of that "Tell Me That You Love Me" show on HBO On Demand. We think it might be the most annoying television show we've ever seen. Basically, it's just a bunch of rich white people complaining about How We Just Don't Communicate The Way We Used To. You want to take every single one of them and slap them until they stop bitching. The show should run directly after "The Wire," just to prove how goddamned awful suburban white people are. (I have this beautiful house and car and wife and children and job ... WHY CAN'T I BE HAPPY?) Ugh. God, it's the worst. Anyway, the next time someone on that show starts whining to their therapist about how they feel "marginalized" by their spouse, we suggest they just listen to the words of wisdom of Gilbert Arenas.

Gilbert Arenas Gets More Entertaining Every Day
Gilbert Arenas created a bit of a stir around the blogosphere when he "borrowed" material from a professional comedian last week. Well now he's firing back at his critics and his material is funnier than that of any comedian I've seen since Demetri Martin's last stand-up special. I'd love to block quote the entire entry but I'll just include a brief highlight in this space. More »

Is Gilbert Really Gonna Leave?
With everyone up in arms about the possibility of Gilbert Arenas leaving the Wizards, we thought we'd look at whether or not he would actually leave. After all, Gilbert is that rare superstar athlete who seems human and likable, and the average fan doesn't like to see a guy like that just — all together not — "Just Going After The Money." Of course, just going after the money makes him the same as about every fan in America, but regardless. More »

Gilbert Arenas Has A Lot Of Baby Stuff To Buy
The Washington Wizards say that they're not surprised that Agent Zero plans to opt out of the final year of his contract, turning down the team's offer of a three-year extension. Arenas signed a six-year, $65 million deal with the team in 2003, but says that he can make bigger money through free agency next summer. Hey, more power to him, we say. But what always gets us is the reasoning behind such maneuvers. Here's your Gilbert quotage, via the Washington Post: More »
