He details the tumultuous end of his career that included multiple scandals & a 50-game suspension from the NBA and explains how a phone call from his replacement on the Washington Wizards, John Wall, reignited his love of the game. After leaving Washington he was puking and throwing up nervous in Orlando with the Magic trying to figure it out.

Gil, that's what being a professional is all about, Bruh. And contrary to what others say about you. I know that you, Agent 0, is all that and some.

You can't help but respect Gil. He's had his issues, but I like how he swallowed his pride to help John Wall.
Thank John Wall
Respect,Gil.
You woke up throwing up because you was probably drinking all night
💯!!
This is real
An article actually came out recently that said they accidentally replaced Gilbert Arenas with John Wall because they looked the same so nobody noticed Gilbert Arenas was gone after the trade
It’s tiring always hearing grown men cry these days
#trustory During my early 20’s (in the 90s) I remember hooping w/ my young nephews (9-11 yrs old) & their neighborhood friends in my big bro’s driveway in Garner, NC. Years later, asking my nephew “Who’s this top HS prospect from Garner, you know him?” My nephew tells me he was one of the kids that would come over all the time. This was while I heard about him in HS. He ended up at #WordofGod in Raleigh. His HS coach at WOG was my homeboy frome college & we also hooped together in the 90’s. I designed #TeamwallAAU dirst logo after he was drafted to the league. My homeboy was their coach.
I also grew up with #DonaldWilliams also from #GarnerHS Same rec league when we were 8 or 9. He helped the #Tarheels defeat the #Fab5 in ‘93 w/ 25pts
Also in Raleigh during my time was #LavelleMoton, who set scoring records later at #NCCU & their current headcoach.
My HS team (I never played for) #ADHSJags at one time had 5 players, 6’5” or better. The tallest was 6’11” we also had an all american PG (#ArielMcDonald who later at #Minnesota played next to future #NBA guard #VoshonLenard)
My homeboy since 8yrs old, #DarrellHarris was a top HS prospect. Too many others to name…
I was 12 when MJ left UNC only 40minutes away. We all watched him on tv, especially when they played #Duke, which is only 8miles away.
We hooped in Raleigh
#smallworld #hoopstate
It’s why my knees hurt now, but I wouldn’t change anything about growing up hooping in 90sRaleigh.
Going from feeling unwanted to needed will drag almost any man out of depression….men need purpose
How did he save his career ? 😂 he was out the league a season or two later
Salute Gil for this. John Wall should be on a team now
I hate that certain players got black balls that can still play
Gil keeps talking like he was HIM. He wasn’t
All praises to the Most High.. We're our brothers keeper
my king john wall
