It's Agent Zero's World, We Just Live In It

Via lots of people, comes another reason why Gilbert Arenas is, if not the best player in the NBA, certainly the most interesting and entertaining. During a Wizards practice, Arenas makes a $20,000 bet (!) with DeShawn Stevenson that he can hit more one-handed three-pointers from the college arc than Stevenson can from the NBA line with both hands (out of 100). So Arenas drops 73 (!) and wins the bet. And all the while they are each doing their best to distract the shooter, just like any good competitor does in a game of 31 or Horse. Nobody broke out the Star Wars noises, but it was entertaining nonetheless. So check out the video: Guilbert Arenas is good at basketball.

Once, when I was 12, I made two baskets in a row from the baseline, and I won a contest too. But I was using two hands from eight feet away, which is way harder.
