Gilbert started off the year slow but has three 40+ pt games alread. If the Wiz get it together he'll be an MVP candidate. Absolute schooling of Lebron James tonite. Had 4 points halfway through the second quarter and finished with 45. Statline:FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL TO PTS14-22 7-11 10-12 5 6 2 1 45Gilbert's new nickname/theme he coined for himself this year is "The Takeover". Must be a big fan of Nick Schulman.I'll post updates in this thread on Gilbert's progress throughout the season.

Gilbert Arena's is quickly becoming one of my favorite non-celtics players. I read that write up of his childhood about a month ago, what a great story. Oh yeah and congrats on that big cash gilbertology.

After handing the Mavericks their first defeat in 14 games, Gil leads the Wiz to their first road win of the season two days later against the Knicks.13-24FG 6-93PT 3SLTS 38PTS
Beating the Knicks is like banging a fat chick, it's fun to do once in a while, but you don't brag about it to your friends.

Chalk Gilbert down as Eastern Conference player of the week.In 4 games he's scored 38, 38, 32, and 41 points while leading the Wiz to a 3-1 record. After a slow start to the season, Gil is now en fuego and either the #1 or 2 ranked player in most fantasy leagues.Tonight's numbers: 41 points, 7 3s, 7 assists, 3 stealsArenas also released his first ever shoe, the Gil Zero, this week.In today's game against Houston he played the first quarter with his white shoes, scored 0 points, then went to the locker room to change to the black version of his Gil Zeros for the second quarter. He scored 19 points in the 2nd, including 12 in a row at one point.

*Gilbert takes a bow at center court*What an amazing performance! Washington franchise record and nba record this season - 60 pts. Gil outduels Kobe and leads the Wiz to a big win on the road vs the Lakers who had the best home record in the league. They are absolutely on fire. With the Shaqless Heat struggling they can get the #2 seed in the East this year and make it to the Finals if Arenas keeps up this MVP pace.

He won Eastern Conference Player of the league back to back.This was before he dropped 55 on Nash and the Suns and ended their 15 game winning streak at their home arens no less.No doubt he's MVP of the league so far, but it's still verry early. Go Gil!~

He is playing out of his mind lately... I bet all those teams that passed on him are kicking themselves in the ass for letting him slip to the 2nd round!As for the MVP, pretty sure either Arenas, Kobe or Nash will win it this year. The only thing that will hurt Arenas are those ugly jerseys they wear...

The first time i saw the jerseys they kinda freaked me out. Having seen the Wiz play in them a bunch now, I actually really like them. No other team in the league has jerseys that look like this. The gold jerseys are sweet, the black pants are meh but they go well with the gold. Gil is a unique player so it makes sense his team has a unique jersey. Oh, and Caron Butler is also playing like a beast. He deserves to make the all-star team but probably won't because of politics and lots of good Eastern forwards like Lebron, JO, etc.

Yeah I put Arenas' chances for winning MVP at 0.38%
You sir, and Jadaki, are both idiots. Arguing with Jadaki is like arguing with an 18 year old.I don't know any sportsbooks off the top of my head that have MVP odds, but I'm pretty sure Arenas' would be better than 260-1.If there were odds up right now he'd undoubtedly be in the top 3. Melo's fifteen game suspension hurt his chances a lot. So Did Yao's broken leg. Nash, Chauncey, and Gilbert would probably be co-favorites at something like 10-1 with Wade and Bron slightly behind. Again, it's still extremely early in the season and of course new MVP contenders will emerge and others will drop out. What I'm saying is that Gil will be a legitimate MVP contender for the whole year, it's what I've said since day one and what I will season after game 82.

Little angry that I constantly prove you wrong?I like Gilbert, he was a key part of my Fantasy championship team last year at work. He can score very well, gets a few assists and steals, but that doesn't make him an MVP.

Sidenote: when you give yourself a nickname, it does not make you cool.Also...
Gil outduels Kobe
What Wade did vs the Lakers on Christmas day was more impressive than Gilbert's 60 points.

Why dont you put your money where your mouth is then sir. Since I am an idiot and all. I will bet you 1000 dollars giving you 3-1 odds that Arenas does not win MVP. First off if you think Arenas is ahead of Wade you are the idiot. Arenas has been great with a solid supporting cast....Wade is carrying an aging team missing its 2nd best player and Shaq is a pretty big loss. Wade filling the stat sheet with 40, 11, 5, 4 and 4 is infinitely more impressive than one of Gilbert's 54 pt, 1 assist, 2 rebound games. Arenas scores points.....Wade scores and lifts his teammates to another level. Any argument that has Arenas ahead of Wade in MVP balloting, who is a better player, who is better looking, whatever is asinine and for you to call me and Jadaki an idiot sheds light on what you know about basketball.....and it isnt much.The fact is Arenas is a helluva player who can score in bunches....but he brings little else to the table. Nash, Bron, Wade....those are guys who control games. Plus you cannot examine Arenas in a vacuum....his high point totals are in large part due to the up and down frenetic style that the Wizards employ.

Gilbert Arenas Stat Line against the Lakers:60 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 turnovers, 2 stealsThat sure doesnt fill the stat sheet.

Seriously, what kind of an idiot are you? Do you even have your GED? First, you say Arenas' chances of winning are .38%. Even if you meant 3.8%, that's about 30-1 odds you should be giving me on this bet. Instead, you offer 3-1!? If Arenas was offered at 3-1 at any sportsbook right now hed's be by far the runaway MVP choice on the books. Wade, Nash et all wouldn't be offered at odds near to 6-1. Honestly, I do not trust you in the slightest but I will wager up to $100 that Arenas will win the MVP at 30-1 odds. You're so sure he won't win that you think he has less than a 1% chance, so you should jump at this offer.Haters can keep hating on Arenas by saying he only scores, but he puts up great all-around numbers every night. Look at the statline Meservey posted above. Most of his games are like that. So far this season his total stats are not comparable to anyone else's including Lebron's. It is this brand of thinking of Arenas as simply a one-dimensional scorer that makes what he does even more amazing. Where would the Heat be without Wade, Suns without Nash, Cavs without Lebron? The Wiz would be in the same place this year without Arenas' contributions. Goodnite all and happy holidays. :club:
