NBA: 5 players that we didn’t get enough of

Gilbert Arenas

In the grand scheme of things, Gilbert Arenas had a long, successful career in the NBA, playing the majority of his games for the Washington Wizards. Arenas played 11 seasons in the NBA, averaging 20.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.

Agent Zero was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2001 out of the University of Arizona. Arenas didn’t hit his stride until his second year in the league, ultimately putting up 18.3 points and 6.3 assists per game.

Following the standout year, the former Wildcat made his way east to join the lowly Washington Wizards, who went 25-57 in his first year. Arenas only played in 55 games.

The wins didn’t come for Arenas and the Wizards until Antawn Jamison was acquired by the franchise in 2004.

With the pair scoring a combined 40 points per game, Washington was a legitimate threat in the Eastern Conference and had continued winning seasons until both Arenas and Jamison were shipped out of town in the 2009 season.

After signing Arenas to a lucrative six-year, $111 million-dollar deal with the Wiz in 2008 and playing a total of 34 games between the 2008 and 2009 season, Arenas was no longer deemed worth the (at the time) astronomical numbers of the contract by Washington.

After being traded to the Orlando Magic during the 2010 season, Arenas would play 49 games for the organization, putting up eight points and 3.2 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

The following year, Arenas was picked up by the Memphis Grizzlies and played in 17 games before calling it quits.

With the injuries adding up and his NBA value plummeting, Agent Zero retired in 2012.

At the height of his career in 2005, Arenas averaged 29.3 points, 6.1 assists and 2 steals a game.
