I'm Nominated for Best Celebrity Blogger
You usually have to have a speech after you win an award, but since I might win (I mean, if anybody is paying attention to the rest of those blogs, they know the Hibachi is superior) I’ll blog about being nominated.

Look at my competition. John Mayer? Who is he? Then you have Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump and that’s not fair because Donald talks about Rosie and Rosie talks about Donald. Ross Matthews … yeah, don’t know him. Kanye West … Kanye has a blog?

The leader is Wil Wheaton from Star Trek: The Next Generation. No wonder why he’s winning, do you know how many Star Trek fans there are? They’re all sitting online in their parents’ house with their long hair and they’re sitting there voting for someone that nobody has heard of besides them.

But I know who should win … the one and only.

I’ve been blogging for over a year now. I had my year anniversary and I’m already in the top five. That’s called amazing.

Wheaton is killing me. He has like 50 percent of the votes and I have like four percent. That is a disgrace. My NBA fans, we got to kick it in now. You’re talking about the integrity of basketball fans now when you let Star Trek people win. We can’t let Star Trek people win and we can’t let Donald O’Donnell win – they should be together.

Fans, we beat Vince Carter out last season for All-Star votes, now we need to beat Mr. Star Trek and his little friends out for this Weblog Award.

We’ll definitely rally to a strong No. 2 finish, but we can slide in to No. 1 if we’re all on the same page.

My Knee
If y’all seen my performance against Orlando, you know why I have to get my knee drained before our game in New Jersey. My knee is stiff right now. It gets stiff when the weather changes. We had that back-to-back with Boston and Orlando and it was my first back-to-back since the injury. I have to get my knee drained and get the fluid out so I can be ready for the next 15 days. I guess it’s like a 15-day period after I drain my knee that I’m at 100 percent. There’s no pain, it’s just stiffness.

Don't Put Me on Waivers
Have you seen my stats? For all my fantasy owners, do not give up on me yet. I know my three-point percentage is horrific right now – 1-for-17 – but I think the rims are broken around the league. David Stern, you need to look into fixing these arenas. But really, 1-for-17, I’m shooting worse than … I don’t know who to say without pissing somebody off. I’m just shooting really bad right now, but I’ll get the mojo back in a minute.

Odds and Ends
The Wizards organization wanted me to throw this in because my blog is so popular. Go to the Wizards Store Website and our dance team did a calendar for the first time, like Miami does. Pick yourself up a dance team calendar because all proceeds go to the Zer0 2 Her0 Foundation.

Man, Gil is a breath of fresh air in this league of mememememe guys. He probably should have his own show.

You can clearly see Arenas, at least, being a commentator for an NBA halftime after he's done playing.
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

definitely 1 of the more entertaining reads from a celebrity... this guy needs to give Curt Schilling some lessons on how to be entertaining instead of just a whiny, annoying loudmouth.

Definitely a funny dude, who enjoys NBA life and doesn't take it for granted.

Not until Maury says so.

Gilbert's awesome - you have to love watching one of the few guys left in the league that really have FUN while playing. Sure it is a business and should be treated as such in several manners, but Arenas is just refreshing after seeing seeing many *ahem* nameless towel scowlers in the league.

All that matters is that he takes his basketball seriously, has fun while doing it (Which he does both), keeps himself in shape (WHich he does) so he can always be at his best. Yes, he's a goof, but hey, the league could definitely use it, in the era of criminals and stuff like that.

I love Gilbert. Finally an athlete with a personality.

Maybe he can teach some of these guys that cry about everything Isles says, how to laugh at a few things.
I just hope that people will like me

That's a good point. Where are the personalities in sports? That subject could get its own thread.

Strahan? Not many others.

I like Papelbon and Manny in Boston. They are both hilarious

Papelbon's certifiable... to hear all these ML players crying about Joba Chamberlain's emotional demonstrations when he K's someone to end an inning, & then you see Papelbon act like he just passed a 10 pound kidney stone out of his peepee hole everytime he gets a big out... KRod is another guy who's a prime example... if you're not going to complain about those guys, then why get on Joba's case DAMMIT!!!

Manny cracks me up except for when he stands & poses at homeplate w/both arms in the air everytime he smacks a longball... someone oughta run 1 up & in on his chops.

Hmmmmmmm, your post seemed to have a NY bent to it. I'm not sure if the NY papers are quoting people after games complaining where Joba has done that, but in general not only do people not care, they don't even know who he is.

See noone runs one up and in on Manny because they love the guy. It's not serious with him. He just goes out and has fun. I've never heard a pitcher challenge or even be angry with Manny. It's just Manny being Manny. I miss the old days of Al Hrabosky staring in at home plate. Of Magic and Isiah making out. Of Larry Bird talking trash during three point contests and backing it up. Now anytime a guy talks a little trash, he either can't back it up or the papers make it out to be a crime.
I just hope that people will like me
