Gilbert Jay Arenas Jr. (born January 6 1982, in Tampa, blank">Arenas still looking over his shoulder, by Linda Robertson - _Miami Herald Florida ) is an American professional basketball player for the NBA's Washington Wizards. Arenas overcame his modest NBA debut, including being a second-round draft pick, to establish himself as one of the most dominant and clutch players in the NBA.
From the time of his entry into the league, Arenas's popularity soared. He transformed himself from being a relative unknown to being voted by fans as an All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference in 2007. Arenas overcame a 213,000 vote deficit at one point to edge out Vince Carter by just over 3,000 votes for the second of the two starting guard spots, the other spot going to Dwyane Wade. Arenas was most often nicknamed "Agent Zero," but has increasingly been referred to as "Hibachi." Both names have quickly become fan favorites in the Washington area.
