I have had much respect for Gilbert Arenas all throughout his NBA career until this afternoon. Gilbert has been know to run his mouth off in major doses. I have found most of his uneducated ramblings to be quite hilarious, especially when he refers to himself as Agent 0 or the Hibachi. My respect floundered for Arenas after he said that he would willingly give up one season in the NBA to play another year in college. He would do this so that he could play Duke and exact some revenge on Coach K for not playing him enough this summer for Team USA. He said that he would be able to score 84 or 85 points against Duke.

Gilbert buddy, you had your chance against Duke. Do you remember the 2001 National Championship game when your then Arizona Wildcats were defeated by the Blue Devils 82-72. From that score you can easily tell you did not score 84 points. No, Gilbert you were shut down by the Duke defense that night. Gilbert shoot a horrid 4-17 from the field and accumulated a mere 10 points. I know Gilbert is a profoundly better player now and the current Duke team does not have as much talent as the 2001 National Championship team did but Gilbert should learn to watch what he says and remember what happened in 2001.

The main reason that Agent 0 did not see too much floor time for Coach K is simple. He is not a team player. Gilbert is too use to being the man who can take 30 shots an evening and not have anyone turn their head. The reason Jerry Colangelo brought in Coach K was to instill a team-first chemistry amongst the players. As a Duke fan I am very bias on the subject but I know when someone is out of line. Gilbert if you want to play more for team USA, you should learn to think of others first and maybe pass the ball occasionally.

I have also heard all day about how Duke got a cheap win last night over Clemson. I do agree that their was too much time on the clock but regardless if you are Clemson you need to stop the ball. If Clemson did that and the game went to overtime no one at all today would have talked about the game, whether Clemson won or lost in overtime. STOP THE BALL!!!!

GO DUKE
