His Father, Gilbert Arenas
Gilbert Arenas, who was also referred to as “Agent Zero” was no ordinary NBA star. He was a great scorer who was dramatic on and off the court. He has a great talent, terrible setbacks and a successful post-playing career.
Born in Los Angeles in 1982, Arenas showed early basketball ability. He learned to shoot on the streets of Van Nuys. After a stellar high school career he attended the University of Arizona and became a scoring machine. He was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the 2001 draft, after his electrifying play wove in NBA scouts.
Arenas started his NBA journey with promise and he became a force, averaging over 20 points per game his second season. A 2003 trade to the Washington Wizards changed everything. Arenas teamed with teammate Antawn Jamison in an explosive offensive duo that made several playoff appearances. His highlight-reel dunks and clutch threes earned him national fame and the nickname “Agent Zero” for his ability to dominate games.
But injuries affected Arenas’ career. Many knee surgeries cost him his peak athleticism and explosiveness. A 2009 locker room incident cost him a lengthy suspension. There were glimpses of brilliance when he returned but Arenas never quite recovered his dominant form. After playing elsewhere in the league for a while, he retired in 2012.
Arenas’ career was successful financially. Through his playing contracts and endorsements he amassed a net worth of about USD 60 million. Yet his love of flashy cars and designer clothes eventually cost him his finances.
Beyond basketball, Arenas has a bright personality and entertaining side. He has applied these qualities to a successful post-playing career. His podcast, No Chill with Gilbert Arenas, features former players and NBA fans giving commentary and anecdotes. He also posts on social media – something few former players do.
Gilbert Arenas’ story is compelling. He scored well and entertained audiences with his on-court brilliance. Although injuries and off-court problems stalled his playing career, he has turned himself into a media personality proving that his knack for entertainment does not stop there.
