Review of poker hands nicknames::Why Is New York Referred to as the Big Apple







Review of poker hands nicknames::Why Is New York Referred to as the Big Apple








First               of               all,               I               have               to               admit               I               have               become               a               basketball               fan               over               the               course               of               the               last               few               years.

My               fiancé               is               an               avid               sports               fan               and,               of               course,               this               includes               basketball.

Needless               to               say,               I               found               myself               sitting               next               to               him               every               few               days               following               our               hometown               team,               the               Washington               Wizards.

Slowly,               I               found               myself               remembering               names               of               the               basketball               players               and               finally,               after               much               comparison               to               other               players               on               our               team,               I               decided               Gilbert               Arenas               was               my               favorite               player.

I               found               myself               in               awe               of               how               fast               he               moved,               how               quickly               he               converted               shots,               challenged               other               players'               talent               and               ultimately,               how               he               was               able               to               provide               a               light               at               the               end               of               the               tunnel               for               a               team               that               seemed               to               be               heading               nowhere               fast.

That's               right.

Gilbert               Arenas               helped               pave               the               way               for               the               Washington               Wizards               to               head               to               the               play-offs               for               the               first               time               since               1997.

And               he's               not               through,               yet.
               Gilbert               Jay               Arenas,               Jr.

was               born               on               January               6,               1982               in               Miami,               Florida.

He               was               raised               primarily               by               his               father               due               to               their               mother's               drug               abuse               and               eventual               abandonment               of               the               family               altogether.

He               and               his               father               remain               close               with               his               father               showing               up               to               his               games               in               support               of               his               son.

Arenas               joined               the               NBA               after               being               drafted               by               the               Golden               State               Warriors               in               2001.

Unfortunately,               he               was               drafted               in               the               second               round               as               the               31st               pick.

Later,               Arenas               notes               that               he               cried               that               day               because               he               was               so               disappointed               at               how               low               he               was               drafted               into               the               league.

His               journey               in               becoming               the               player               he               is               today               started               in               Arizona               as               he               won               the               Most               Improved               Player               Award               for               2003.

Although               he               wasn't               the               explosive               player               we               see               today,               he               was               still               very               talented               and               quick.

He               rapidly               became               the               player               every               coach               wanted               on               their               team.

After               various               offers               and               confusion               as               to               what               team               he               should               join,               he               flipped               a               coin               which               decided               his               fate               would               lie               in               the               hands               of               the               Washington               Wizards.
               Joining               the               Washington               Wizards               gained               Arenas               much               recognition               and               attention               from               fans               everywhere.

Unfortunately,               he               didn't               showcase               his               talent               during               his               first               year               with               the               Wizards               because               he               had               a               strained               abdominal               muscle               injury.

He               was               uable               to               play               for               the               pretty               much               the               entire               season.

The               great               thing               about               Arenas               is               that               he               shook               off               that               low-point               and               proved               to               everyone               that               he               was               unstoppable               the               next               year.

During               the               2004-05,               the               fans               in               the               Washington,               D.C.

area               began               to               see               why               Arenas               was               on               their               hometeam.

He               averaged               an               impressive               25               points               per               game.

Coupled               with               shooting-guard               Larry               Hughes,               Arenas               blew               the               crowds               of               each               game               he               played.

It               was               this               year               he               began               one               his               trademark               game               closers               --               the               buzzer               shot.

He               would               sink               buzzer               beater               shots.

They               could               be               three-pointers               or               just               a               quick               lay-up               --               the               important               thing               was               that               they               went               in               without               giving               anytime               for               the               opposing               team               to               react.

Arenas               was               voted               into               the               All-Star               game               during               that               season               as               a               reserve.
               The               2005-06               basketball               season               presented               Arenas               in               that               same               mind-blowing               light               and               if               possible,               an               even               greater               talent               emerged               from               him.

He               averaged               31               points               per               game.

One               of               the               first               records               Arenas               set               during               this               season               was               for               most               points               scored               in               30               minutes.

He               sunk               in               46               with               ease.

His               game               has               been               getting               better               and               better               and               it               doesn't               matter               what               player               is               on               his               team.
               More               recently,               Arenas               was               not               picked               for               the               USA               Team               for               the               2006               FIBA               World               Championship.

Arenas               held               this               grudge               against               the               coaches               and               vowed               to               fans               and               haters               alike               that               he               would               score               50               points               against               their               teams               (Suns               and               Trail               Blazers).

Although               Arenas               has               created               dents               in               both               teams'               records,               Arenas               hasn't               always               been               able               to               follow               through               with               his               threats.

On               February               11,               2007               he               only               scored               9               points               against               the               Portland               Trail               Blazers.
               Perhaps               the               most               satisfying               performance               I               have               seen               of               Gilbert               Arenas               was               when               he               scored               60               points               against               the               Los               Angeles               Lakers...more               specifically,               against               Kobe               Bryant.

This               may               be               my               biased               side               speaking,               seeing               as               how               I               am               a               Wizards               fan,               but               Arenas               just               had               his               game               on               that               night.

He               came               to               play               and               he               did.

Bryant               is               a               superb               player               --               there's               no               doubt               about               that.

Arenas               just               has               a               way               to               make               himself               be               more               likable               than               I               feel               Bryant               is.

Bryant               took               a               jab               at               Arenas               stating               all               the               shots               he               took               were               not               "quality               shots."               Needless               to               say,               Arenas               began               to               yell               that               phrase               out               whenever               he               made               a               shot,               an               ode               to               Kobe               Bryant.
               More               recently,               Gilbert               Arenas               has               been               voted               into               the               2007               All-Star               Team               as               a               starter               for               the               first               time.

He               barely               edged               out               Vince               Carter               for               the               start.
               Any               fan               has               to               wonder               whether               Arenas'               quirks               really               do               help               him               in               becoming               a               better               player.

He's               admitted               to               playing               poker               at               half-time,               changing               his               shoes               during               games               if               he's               not               doing               well,               soaking               himself               in               the               team               showers               before               the               second               half,               etc.

I'm               sure               the               list               can               go               on               and               on.

More               than               anything               else,               Arenas               is               a               player               for               the               fans.

At               the               end               of               every               game,               he               throws               his               jersey               out               to               the               crowd,               regardless               of               whether               it               is               a               home               game               or               not.

For               the               2006-07               year,               Arenas               is               giving               $100               for               every               point               he               scores               during               a               home               game               to               schools               in               the               local               area.

Owner               Abe               Pollin               promised               to               match               that               for               every               Wizards'               away               game.
               Besides               Arenas'               amazing               basketball               skills,               you'll               hear               about               the               quirkiness               of               his               personality               that               has               been               more               appropriately               been               named,               "Gilbertology."               He               began               yelling               "Hibachi"               out               after               every               amazing               shot,               which               meant               that               he               was               on               fire               and               he               was               "cooking               and               chicken               and               shrimp"               to               members               of               the               opposing               team.

He               also               refers               to               himself               as               "The               Black               Assassin"               because               he               has               no               conscience               when               he's               out               on               the               court.

More               recognizable               is               his               nickname,               "Agent               Zero,"               which               is               a               reference               to               his               jersey               number.

He               wears               the               number               zero               because               he               was               told               he               would               play               zero               minutes               with               his               college               team               at               the               University               of               Arizona.
               I               have               to               say               I               got               goosebumps               when               the               crowd               at               Verizon               Center               began               chanting               MVP               before               he               took               his               foul               shots               against               the               Utah               Jazz               (January               15,               2007).

Although               the               season               is               only               halfway               over               and               that               trophy               isn't               awarded               until               the               end               of               the               year,               the               fact               that               NBA               fans               recognize               his               talent               is               awesome.

Arenas               has               worked               so               hard               to               get               to               where               he               is,               it's               only               fitting               he               be               able               to               end               the               year               on               that               kind               of               a               high               note.
               There               is               so               much               more               to               say               about               Gilbert               Arenas               that               I               would               suggest               just               watching               some               of               the               Washington               Wizards               games               and               find               out               for               yourself               why               he               is               such               a               great               player.

The               great               thing               about               Arenas               is               that               he               just               recently               turned               25               and               is               this               great               this               young!

He               still               has               work               to               do               on               his               game               and               maintaining               a               high               points               per               game.

However,               it               goes               without               saying               that               Arenas               is               turning               out               to               be               a               great               asset               for               the               Washington               Wizards               and               an               ideal               member               of               the               NBA.

We               need               more               players               or               his               calibur               and               personality               to               make               this               league               even               greater               than               what               it               is.

Agent               Zero               is               the               man!
