If you're stuck on finding reasons to love Agent Zero, just love him because he gives fans something to talk about everyday.
Obsessed with all the Super Bowl hype, I completely missed this story on everyone's favorite Hibachi-screaming baller.
During a Wizards practice, Arenas and DeShawn Stevenson had a little shooting contest where Gilbert shot 100 one-handed three pointers from the college arc and DeShawn Stevenson shot 100 two-handed from the NBA arc ... with the winner taking home $20,000.
I know what you're thinking, "How come I'm never around when major ballers feel like playing Monopoly with real cash? Seriously, I could hold the money during the game ... I might not be there with the money when the game is over ... but come on, let me hold it."
The Arenas-Stevenson shooting contest has hit the Internet and you can watch the whole shebang (below), and see Arenas, who won and aced 72 out of 100 shots with one freakin' hand , do a little trash talking, flopping, and some weird semi-breakdancing moves on the court.
It almost goes without saying that you kind of feel a smidge bad for Stevenson in the end. If anyone needs to keep 20 G's in his wallet (other than you and me), it's him -- he's making just $932K to Arenas' $11 million this year.
Just say no to gambling, partna.
Instead contribute to the "This Blogger Wants a Benz Fund."
I hear they do great work.

Agent Zero definitely has mad skills. They shouldn't mention the money; some folks work hard & barely make that in a year.

Agent zero is the truth. See what alittle hard work and practice can do for you. A.I. take a lesson. It's just practice.

Gilbert is a class act and fun to watch. Take note, his numbers are good because he is working hard for them. Remember, a job is not a job when you enjoy what you are doing. Stay focused and much success.

I'll be the first to admit that i don't know the first thing about basketball, and never heard of either of these guys. I did find find it interesting that I never saw Deshawn in the shot when Zero took his turn, but every time Deshawn shot, Gil was within 5 feet of him acting silly! Maybe he wasn't as confident as he first thought.
