Gilbert Arenas Shows Up With $100,000 Cash For Shootout With Nick Young, Drains 95 Out Of 100 Threes
Nick Young and Gilbert Arenas have been best friends since their time as teammates in Washington.
The two constantly make fun of each other, and sometimes even go overboard. They played together from 2007 to 2010, before Arenas was traded from the Wizards to the Magic. When you hear the name ‘Gilbert Arenas’ most of you probably think of the gun inciedent, but Gilbert Arenas was much more than that. He was an elite NBA player, one of the best and most talented guards of our time. He was a three time All-Star and member of three All NBA Teams. In his second year in the league, Agent 0 won the MIP Award. In his prime year from 2003-2007, he was a matchup nightmare.
He now showed that he’s still got it. After Nick Young called him out, Gilbert Arenas got right to the gym to get back to his Agent Zero ways. Challenge accepted. Arenas brought $100,000 in cash to the gym with him, but Young (wisely) didn’t show up to participate. Good for him, because he would have likely lost the 100 grand, as Arenas drained 95 out of the 100 shots he put up.
Agent 0 remains a killer.
“I almost beat my old record of 96. I’ve been sitting on the couch watching Netflix for the last motherf***ing four years. And I come out and make 95 out of 100. Let me go back on the couch. They just put ‘Black Panther’ on Netflix.”
