gil’s ego is the best thing in the league for a while. he’s not egotistic in the standard way. he’s like someone who is living a dream and when he scores 60 on kobe he gets pumped and let’s everyone know it. his ego is something I can respect because he’s a fan’s player. hopefully he can step up his team player game.

We all know what he can do, but we want to see the team play, especially since they developed really well this season.

Definitely not, even if he hadn't been injured. But Baron Davis didn't REALLY heat up til the spring, Kidd was on yet another underachieving team, TP was on a great TEAM, and CP and Deron hadn't really arrived yet. For that month, Chauncey and Nash were the only PGs I'd have right with Gil. Although the Suns (along with the Mavs) were just coming off of a very slow start. At the time, Gilbert was like Kobe East: carrying a team that was perceived to not be very good. I'm not saying that Gil was ever better than Kobe, but better than the rest of the PGs in the league? For a minute or two. Here's hoping (as a Wiz fan) that he can recapture some of that magic (did it again!), and that the rest of the team can integrate him seamlessly. IS the best?

He may be top 7, I can just give him the crown though. Naw Dag didn’t forget but to say he is the best? I can’t feel that. He may be top 7, I can just give him the crown though.

You guys seem to forget last year pretty quickly. I'm a huge Nash fan, and I have a lot of respect for some of the others on the list, but for about a month last year, Gil was (for me) the MVP of the League. Crazy, I know, but remember when the Wizards were #1 in the East? That month where he scored a ton and had a bunch of dramatics? Like I said, only for a month or so. But he's up there with the elite guards, just as much as TP and Baron Davis, when he's on. Now, he hasn't been on like that since about a year ago, so I don't want to make any predictions. I don't think that his style meshes well with hardly any TEAM. That having been said, he's still better than any of the guys he's replacing, so I have to feel like they'll improve slightly. Right now they'd be drawing the Cavs in the playoffs, so I don't think it would matter, but if they can reach the 5th seed (if they keep improving), they'd play the Magic, which is a better look for them, I think. That's assuming that they play better, because even though Gil's better than anyone else currently playing for them, a lot of why they're winning right now is the chemistry and wizardry (haha...sigh) of Eddie Jordan, neither of which would be as necessary with Gil. I'm going to predict them finishing at the 6th seed, then going down 4-1 to the Cavs. I don’t know. You guys seem to forget last year pretty quickly.

He's not a good "point" because he's an AI type player. And he can never back up anything he says. Hopefully he sits out the rest of the year. Gilbert Arenas is just a clown, all show.
