Gilbert Arenas Hijacks a Pickup Game
It feels like we’re at GilbertArenas.com this morning with all of the Hibachi content. You may have seen this video pop up on some sites yesterday, but we figured we’d drop it here this morning too. It’s a video from our friends at adidas in a 4-part series called “Ultimate Stage.” This first installment stars Gil shocking the hell out of some high school kids.
Be on the lookout for the next three videos throughout the day, starring Dwight Howard, T-Mac, Tim Duncan and KG.

probably staged yeah, but still awesome. Not trying to up these kids or anything but one time my dad played a game against former NY Giants football players in my high school gym.

Staged, maybe, but thats the stuff Gil does. He’s always around town lookin’ for kids he can make a difference with. Nothin’ but respect for the man.

This is why, through it all, we still got much love for Gil in D.C.

Teaching kids streetball moves won’t get you far in highschool/college/pros

Didn’t see the streetball moves. I saw recruitment moves though…This is ridiculously cool. If the kids are sincerely or not this will probably be the highlight of their lives…That is major.

Staged? Maybe.
But look at those kids faces…That s#!t ain’t staged–and ain’t that the only thing that really counts.
And Gil’s sincerity in dealing with these kids isn’t staged either.
Gil’s the man.

The cameras missed the part when Arenas tells the kids “voting’s wack”
