Gilbert Arenas Banned From Orange County Fair Games

It doesn’t matter how you bend the rules, or the rim in this case, there’s no going around the fact that former three time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas can shoot. After taking his family to the Orange County Fair, he was banned from all of the basketball hoop games after reaching the 15 item prize limit. He wasn’t just hot on the shot, but Hibachi!

Among his newly acquired stash are two large pandas, a lethargic looking blue mouse, a green Mr. Planter, a large bag filled with even more stuffed animals, and a minion just as large as his son. A personal favorite, though, is his sombrero looking donut hat. While his kids look ecstatic that they have new friends, it seems Arenas has not only the biggest smile out of the group, but the most stuffed animals. Lucky guy.

During his tenure in the NBA, he played for the Golden State Warriors, Washington Wizards, Orlando Magic, and Memphis Grizzlies averaging 20.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. In 2012, he signed with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association averaging 20.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3 assists per game.

With his career scoring average hovering in the 20 point range, it is no surprise he shot the lights out at the state fair. Now if only I could shoot the same.
