[Basketball Thursday] Gilbert Arenas -a seriously unlucky man

Arenas, the 26-year old point guard for the Washington Wizards has been injured yet again, and best case scenario, he'll lose the first month of the new NBA season. This is on top of several other injuries that made him lose the playoffs in the last two seasons, and the majority of the 2007/8 season.

This is a very unfortunate development for Arenas, as teams generally only put up with recurring injuries for so long (especially when you're their most well-paid player) and are often quick to replace players with such tendencies. Hopefully he'll recover fully on time.

TL;DR version:

This sucks. Agent Zero is my favorite NBA player, he deserves better than this.

On an amusing side note, his X360 voice blog suggests he has played more NBA 2K8 than NBA Live 2008, despite being on the cover of the latter. 2K8 is the better game though, so it makes sense that way.
