Hes not a hall of fame player and has never made it past the second round in the playoffs being a ball hog, he was a good shooter but thanks for the video
Andy Hoops youre a top man! Thank you for the vids, im really impressed with the quality and i can see youre getting better and better at them. Keep it going man, the more work you put in during the early days - the more it will pay off in the future. Thanks man, all the best. MiD
Can you imagine Roy and Oden on that Blazers team if they had fulfilled their potential? Also if T Mac and Yao had done the same? Or even T Mac and Hill. (I cant remember if Penny was still in Orlando then).
Agent 0 used to be so good/clutch, a big part of his story is him being a 2nd round pick, that fueled his need to be great. I wonder if Doctor's messed up his surgery. That gun incident was the final nail in the coffin.
Whenever I asked my dad about Gilbert Arenas he always used to say that he was really good and ever since then I wanted to know what happened to him. Thanks for the vid! Now I know the real reason.
@@jlnxn5374 and he messed up in the Finals when he got back into the lineup... Rafer Alston is a better pointguard and had like 20 points in game 3 as a starter in place of Jameer Nelson and Orlando won that game... Then Nelson came back in game 4 and Fisher hits a 3 right on his face in regulation and OT lmao
Little known fact- The game that Gilbert got his first meniscus injury by Gearld Wallace, Gilbert was actually late to shoot around because he overslept so then Head Coach Eddie Jordan had Gilbert come off the bench that game as a disciplinary move. Which is why he was in the game that late in the first quarter when he’d normally be on the bench. What if he had shown up to shoot around on time? Maybe he’d still be dominating the league today…
I remember reading an article during that time when he was tearing it up, where he mentioned his training philosophy. He talked about how he increased his training workload as the season progressed. He made it sound like as his teammates would take it easy and pace themselves throughout the season, he’d ramp it up and just workout all the time because he thought it’d give him some physical edge towards the end of the season. Remembering back to that article, I wonder if he made it harder for his body to recover by putting it under such physical stress without time to recover before his injury. I mean why else couldn’t he recover fully from surgery after a couple months at 26? And then the recoveries became longer, and then he regressed so much in 4 years that he’s out of the league.
I don't think enough fans realize that the average NBA career length is only five years. People go into and out of the league all the time. Injuries, off the court issues, just aging out, all of this stuff can and does happen to players.
I’ve been a Wizards fan my whole life, and I grew up through Agent Zero’s golden era and eventual decline. This was a sad reminder of probably the greatest sports disappointment in my childhood. This was informative, however, as I stopped paying attention to Arenas after the gun incident. I was infuriated with him. He is still one of the best Wizards we’ve had. Such a letdown, though.
We as wizards fans have been robbed of so much. Agent Zero’s injuries and lockeroom incident as well as the Wall Star’s injuries while on an insane contract(he deserved it at the time but the injuries ruined it in retrospect)
Gilbert was my favorite player growing up and I wrote a blog in 2007 highlighting his injury and it was the beginning of the end ...I honestly don't think I've watched a wizards game since that charlotte game and ofc I know what happened to his career after this video just brings back good/bad memories ...great video lol In the beginning you didn't mention the game vs the Phoenix suns vs MVP Steve Nash 4 days after dropping 60 on the lakers he put up 54 on national tv and officially put the league on notice
It's such a shitty thing to see injuries ended player's career. Imagine if Shawn Livenston, Gilbert Arenas, Greg Oden never got injured... Only God knows what they can achieve but we willl never know.
That's my biggest regreat. It's unfortunate but clearly Gerald Wallace kill Gilbert Arenas career... I always say that to my friend and nobody remember that 1st injury. Now i could prove them
@@jayinthebx Lol we all played basketball with dudes like Gerald Wallace before. Recklessly throwing their body around for every rebound. No wonder he used to average double digit rebounds. Nobody wanted to collide with his crash dummy ass lol
Hey Andy you should do a video on Marcin Gortats story of making it to the NBA also keep up the good work and you look like a powerlifter by your body type. Are you one?
I used to powerlift in college, yeah. And I've heard of Gortat's story before and it definitely seems cool. I'll keep my eye on that one! I love stories like that
Story is similar to D Rose in a way. Both top level talent who continued to have knee problems and never were able to reach their true potential. Both are two of my favorite players just because of their personality but D Rose was able to bounce back and still a solid nba player and can be an above average starting guard or 6th man
Great vid. Just started watching your vids. Very in depth analysis and storytelling. Could you possibly do Brandon Roy next? He was so nasty when he played for the Portland Trailblazers.
I remember watching that game against the lakers where he dropped 60. It was very impressive the variety of shots he used. Im sure if not for that knee injury he would have had a long successful career.
My favorite Arenas moments where when he hit either back to back game winners or 2 in less than a week and he was so cocky he knew it was going in he turned around and put his hands up to celebrate before the ball even went in. Now THAT is cold blooded!
Fall of Gilbert Arenas? What does that mean? You mean he will never become a Hall of Famer? The guy built himself a mansion before signing a $110 mil contract. He now watches NBA games in his mansion in his heavenly pool with a large waterfall and a glass of martini and is still owed $100 mil by the wizards. The fall? How I wish I would fall that hard. The ones that fall are those who can't manage their money, lose it all to gambling or become greedy refuse to sign a great contract, go into free agency then their career ends with a devastating injury before accumumalting any wealth.
He was still injured and he got shit drain from his knee his knee was fucked up but yes you right it ain't worst then d rose but a injury is a injury casue he was doing this not even in his prime
Falling from greatness has nothing to do with money. He was a great player who became a not so good player in a short amount of time. Of course he's rich for life, but don't you think he wanted a chip
Fall in his career. Did you watch the video? Had nothing to do with money it was about his career. When you go from one of the best players to being out of the league in just a few years THATS A FALL!!!
I only saw Arenas play in one, maybe two games. Undoubtedly, he was very explosive when getting to the rim and a very good scorer in his prime. I think based on this video package, part of the decline was the knee injuries, and yes, the gun incident played a role. I do wonder, though, if Arenas had better people training him in his rehab, plus Arenas himself evolving his game, if he still would have produced consistently on the court while remaining relatively healthy. I think you need the right rehab and evolving of your game to succeed after a knee injury, but, like I said, I didn't see Arenas play that much, as he was on some bad teams, so there could be more to the story.
I remember Arenas is the poster star of my childhood NBA live game. He was on every TV commercials. But then he sort of disappeared and my younger friends didn't have no idea about him
Andy, could you do a video on the rise and slight fall of Brandon Jennings? He recently just signed with a team in China and I find that crazy especially since he played last season in the league. Thanks!
Really wish that Gun incident never happened. Dude was so great in Washington and should be remembered as one of the all time greats on NBA 2K among other things. Hopefully the two sides do business again some day.
I remember seeing a video of Gilbert working with the kids in DC, he seemed like a good dude, but I'm sure after the 2nd surgery on the same knee, he was probably mentally doubting the stability of the knee.
Funny you brought up Rose....when Bulls fans became upset with Rose for not playing in the (what was it...the 2013) playoffs after being cleared to play after suffering a torn ACL I tried (in vain) to remind them of Gilbert's injury and that Rose had the right to not trust his knee until he felt comfortable enough to get back on the court and play.
He retired at 30 years old with millions upon millions and got to play in the nba for a little bit but he had a fucked up knee afterwards. Sounds like a dreamlife to me. Sign me up for that life anyday of the week

Octogonal Gaming haha good one 😂

point blank and they still missed...they are worse shooters than Andre Drummond on the FT line

One of the worst for me was T-Mac an Yao Ming cause they were rocking the league before Ming's injuries and eventually T-Mac's

love it you should do a video like this but t Mac and more played who feel off
You forgot the part where Arenas came back early for the playoffs in 07-08 and reinjured his knee. He played 4 games in a 6 game series.
I remember reading an article during that time when he was tearing it up, where he mentioned his training philosophy. He talked about how he increased his training workload as the season progressed. He made it sound like as his teammates would take it easy and pace themselves throughout the season, he’d ramp it up and just workout all the time because he thought it’d give him some physical edge towards the end of the season.

I mean why else couldn’t he recover fully from surgery after a couple months at 26? And then the recoveries became longer, and then he regressed so much in 4 years that he’s out of the league.
It's a good theory, since that injury's apparently not ordinarily chronic.
Yes it actually said it recently on his podcast, he was working too hard and didn't know he had to take it easy
Just imagine how his career would have turned out if wallace never injured him
I don't think enough fans realize that the average NBA career length is only five years. People go into and out of the league all the time. Injuries, off the court issues, just aging out, all of this stuff can and does happen to players.
