When NBA players rant on the internet...


Despite the many "accomplishments" of Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas, he's still a bit depressed about not having a PlayStation 3 or a Wii. Arenas writes on his blog:

Man, I couldn't get it. I stood outside no hours and got nothing. That's when you sit in your room and try to use your celebrityism. I didn't get nothing. I knew I should have called and said I was D-Wade. 'Um, hello, this is D-Wade - This is LeBron - Can I come over there and get one of them?' Then I would have had one.


So much for celebrityism. Looks like another person is going to eBay. You really have to feel sorry for the guy. He was snubbed a slot on the roster of players selected to compete at last summer's World Championships in Japan, even if he was added to the list of players for USA Basketball's Olympic team and even if his scoring average has increased with each season. Rejection hurts.

On the bright side, his Halo team, "Final Boss" came in second in Vegas. Also, he can look forward to follow-up shipments.

huh

Screw him, what makes him any better than all the other people waiting in line, just because he plays basketball he has more right on one? Piss off. The only thing he did right was wait in line like everyone else, I'll give him credit for that.

screw him

F him. F'ing crybaby.... WAAAHHH - He can play with balls for money, so he is more important that the rest of the *****ing world. Well i say go play with your balls, and i hope someone robs your rolex and keys your bmw in while you wait in line biatch.

What?

WHy are you angry at him. He waited in line and could not get one. He never said he should get one cause he plays ball. He said after he couldn't get one he tried to use his celebrity to get one. who wouldn't. You *****ing nerds are jealous that this guy is rich, or that a black dude is rich. By choosing the name "kramer", you made it clear what your problem with him is. Calm down he's not the first rich black guy. There's a whole league of them. It's clear he loves games. He sponsers a really good Halo team, which includes white guys for all you dumb-ass racists out there.

cliche

Thats sorta wierd. You take the name of Kramer a guy who just went of a racist rant while on stage. And your following his footsteps.

@ Datnizzle

I agree with you 100%. i have no clue why you *****tards are pissed off, the man *****ing stood in line like everyone else! how does that make him believe he has extra rights? idiots. If you were a pro athlete that people new about, i guarantee 100% you wouldnt stand in line at all. you would have either bought one ahead of time cuz u use ur fame, or you would have one reserved for you. atleast arenas did what everyone else did and waited in line hoping to get one. i feel bad for all the people that didnt get a ps3 and waited so long in line (i didnt get one either but its not that i was standing in line for one, i jus had no money) Good job Arena's, you did the right thing. (yes i know he cant read what i said)

...

Well, its a good thing he stood in line to get one, but I dont think its such a big deal that he couldn't get one, he can actually afford to get one on ebay.

i meant

i didnt mean he cant read it as he cant read, lol. thats how i made it sound accidentally. i meant that hes not going to read what i said cuz i doubt he comes here lol.
