Gil, you so crazy!

Gilbert Arenas is not your average basketball player. He swirls the ball around himself before shooting free throws. He plays video poker during half time breaks. He not only not only writes a blog on NBA.com, but he uses it to give Halo teams shout outs!

The latest development? He shouts "Hibachi!" while taking shots. A hibachi is a kind of Japanese hot plate, and according to Arenas it says something about his jumper. Let him explain: "You know, a hibachi grill gets real hot. That's what my shot's like, so I've been calling it that: 'Welcome to the hibachi'."

This guy needs a sitcom or a reality TV show, or some excuse to have either a high-pitched shrieking black girlfriend or Chris Rock (whoever is available) to scream "Gil, you so craaazy!" every time he pulls one of these antics. Sit up and take notes on this Hollywood, because when Gilbert speaks people act.

The Cheap Seats Doctrine

Welcome to Reflections on Sport, a new blog aiming to provide short analysis and commentary on sport issues from around the world. This blog is inspired by the writings of Bill Simmons, ESPN's resident Sports Guy and he of the cult following, and will provide similar musings on sport issues from a true fan's perspective.

The focus will be on the NBA, as I am a strong follower of the league albeit without one particular team to root for, and at times may also feature the NFL (Go Broncos!), soccer and Australian sports such as cricket or football.
