Gil’s plan to tank for the #1 pick backfired 😭
Gilbert Arenas shares a hilarious story about him attempting to tank the Washington Wizards to get the best draft pick. In the 2010 NBA Draft, he was not playing so he had the Washington Wizards tank. He would invite the team out to the club and make them take 12 shots the night before games. SwaggyP aka Nick Young confirms that he was dumb enough to take the challenge for $9000. Then when they drafted John Wall the plan backfired on Gilbert Arenas as he was no longer the star Washington Wizards guard. He tells this hilarious story to the Gil’s Arena crew after a tailgate Monday episode of the NBA podcast.
Gil’s Arena every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Dam his plan backfired soooo bad 😂
"What about that Evan turner kid" 😂
That jumbo ahh hat 😂😂 wtf
Or COUSINS motherfucker – that was that year right??
Pg Gil
Sg Deshawn Stevenson
Sf Caron Butler
Pf Antawn Jamison
C DeMarcus Cousins
6th man sg/sf/wing – Swaggy P
7th Andre Blatche – Came into league as a 6'11 SF so that's your "Big" rotation with important minutes at the pf/c at the defensive and up-tempo rotations and help when the wildcard gets in foul trouble or tossed or come clown shit but with high upside – ladys and gentlemen I present to you the "clown shit" in the form of –
8th man Javale McGee as the 7'1 athletic and fast(and maybe in possession of an extra chromosome but that's easier to deal with when he's an 8th man on a team with vets that's winning with a premier starter in front of you)
9th man – Javaris Crittenton..as long as we "fantasy booking" a dark Washington Wizard certified contender – might as well go balls deep in this Gil the Conquerer shit so let's make this "sacred" timeline the MOST DARKEST timeline..people forget he came in to the league as a 6'6 some people had him listed as a 6'7 PG like Shaun Livingston before his knee decided they should take a break and see other people..
Also allows you to dump off Bendan Haywood's top
5 worst contract in the league pre-lockout to a team that's rebuilding and wants future cap space and multiple picks (although low) for some "win now" type players to plug in the bench rotation because the further down the extremely talented but extremely young/green role players the more valuable they become with vets to offset the East Coast "jail blazers 2.0" they are currently constructed as with my lineup..some dogs that'll deebo some niggas into they place when they wanna ack up..look who was moving around for damn near nothing at that time because they were on multi-year contracts on lottery teams..players like(who also are in Haywood's salary rangewhich is crazy as fuck when I read these names off of players pretty much GIVEN away that year or next) players such as– sg J Rich ✅
– SF Corey maggete ✅
– sg/SF Stephen Jackson ✅
– SF/pf Boris diaw ✅
– sg/SF Tony Allen ✅✅
– sg/PG Eddie house ✅✅
– SF James posey✅
– pf glen Davis ✅
– SF grant hill(on last leg but HALF of ✅✅ Haywood's contract – I know I told you – crazy ass fuck..making sub 2 mil a year but the PERFECT fit for this team)
– SF Shane barrier ✅
– pf David West ✅
– sg Jerry stack house(I know old as shit but✅✅ only two year contract and also cheap as fuck)
– pf David Lee
– pf Tyrus Thomas
– sg Rudy Fernandez ✅✅
– SF Corey brewer
– SF Andres nocioni
The list goes on and on..green check marks mean less than Haywood salary and two green check marks means less than HALF Haywood's contract
"How about that Evan Turner kid" 😭😭😭 Gil would have no hair if Washington drafted Evan Turner. Dude was trash
Got there legs crossed like old men on the porch talking mess😂😂
Swaggy on the heavy drugs bruh….. them.teeth never lie.
Evan Turner stray was crazy 😭
Bro take that dumb ass hat off swear shit made me mad having a discussion with a grown man with big hat on his head thugg😂😂😂
See nick better than me .. 9 shots in sleeping where I took 7-8-9 at 😂😂😂😂
Gil became a rams fan and brought us bad luck
This is the most uplifting debauchery I have ever witnessed. lol
How do you look at someone in conversation with that dumbass hat on and not laugh?
Brilliant diabolical work😂
That big ass hat dude be wearing is stupid as hell. He a grown ass man cut that out
Say what you want at least John was able to lead the Wizards past the 1st rd in the playoffs, would’ve made the ECF if he ain’t break his hand. Plus, I will never forget how Gil folded because LBJ put that pressure on him😂
Ngl I think I would’ve loved Gil as a friend but hated him as a teammate 😂
He ultimately ruined the Wizards
12 shots in 30 minutes 😹😹😹😹😹 niggas just giving away money at this point, what even was the beverage?
Gil evil
Good bet but you personally gotta wanna be great would’ve had fun but still took time to get better every day
Text now you'll see why some n b a teams don't win cause of players like this
Ya'll were good. Even impressive ❤
