@@samuelnjenga1761 Prime Arenas had little to no weakness in his game. Prime Harden refuses to put in defensive effort. Arenas also has proven to be more clutch and has a momentum-killing 3pt shot.
If you dig deeper into his story of dropping 60 pts and 50 pts every night against favorite teams was because coaches voted him out of the all stars the previous season and made a promise to drop 30 or 40 against every coach who was involved. Remarkably, he was selected for all-star that same year by replacing an injured player but coaches didn’t vote for him. True story. I witnessed this story and became a big fan of such determined guy. Great player and great guy.
It was that and then he didn’t get picked for the USA team so he told all the coaches he was gonna drop 40 to 50 and if he could go back to college he would drop 70 on coach k 😂
His dribbling was an absolute perfection of precise angle opening and getting defenders to turn their hips or back up to give him space for the shot. This man was playing on rookie difficulty in his prime.
i noticed this on so many plays. their watching his hips but he’s watching theirs too. the slightest hesitation he sees from his defenders feet and he’s pulling up. what’s so great about this style of play is he’s not wasting movement and even if the shot doesn’t go in, he draws the foul most of the time. i actually love the way he plays. this is a great play style for undersized guards because he doesn’t rely on athleticism to get to the basket, he’s reading reactions
His hesi left is a thing of legends. He had defenders jumping out of their shoes to slide right, only to watch him pull up with that technically perfect jumper.
@@brown_xKMD Yea he got smaller role offers after that, definitely not the same. And it's fair to put this name in there because he was literally up there with Kobe in the league in his prime. That's a 3 year run that most players would dream to have. Stop it
Thanks for this. Hibachi in his prime was a top tier killler, an assassin who wanted to kill you on the court. Lights out shooter, he'd easily have a scoring title or 2 in today's game, Hibachi was insanely quick too and had strength, a savage.
He had HOF potential in his own era if only he had a longer prime...injuries, man But ur right in today's game he'd be in the category w Dame, Steph, and Trae
yes your right iverson was the only other point guard that averged 25+ ppg since nate tiny Archibald i was 11 this season but his playing style being a scoring point guard like how point guards our scoring alot. people forgot iverson got switched back to pg the 04-05- and 05-06 season. it sucked his body gave up on him like that he never really got back to even 70 percent after the knee injures. This was when he had that addias commercial saying he were zero because they told him he was gone get zero minutes
Outside of Kobe that roster was awful. LALs starting lineup vs WAS consisted of Smush-Kwame-Walton-Radmanovic-Kobe (Bynum & Farmar off the bench). Stating that the entire lakers roster couldn’t stop him sounds wild.. until you add some context. 🤣
@@pericopinero1035 and that game went to double OT. So I’m gonna say either the Wizards starting five was just as trash or that team was better than you thought. Also Gilbert and Kobe were both just that raw.
So many other players that Kobe couldn't guard lol. Kobe just won more and wanted it more. He took it more seriously. But Kobe was never my fav player to watch. When there were players like tmac , Steve Francis , baron Davis , Stephon maurbury, Vince Carter. Jason Williams .. list goes on
Guards nowadays would have so much trouble with prime Arenas. He could flat out score the ball, could post up, had a mid range could finish on bigs and could shoot from the 3. Plus he was CLUTCH. I remember a play when he shot a 3 from almost half court and turned around before the shot went in to end the game!
@@Seattlefan77 he wasn't a small guard, and he bullied his way into the paint the way Harden does now. It's a fair comparison. He didn't foul hunt like Harden does, but their games are similar.
GA was probably the strongest point guard in the league at that time, most defenders weren’t as physical as him so he could do whatever he wanted. Same thing with James Harden today
Dude was my favorite player at that time, just from his story of being a bench player then becoming a franchise star. He cooked everyone, he was Dame Lillard before Dame Lillard sad that injuries derailed his career. Agent Zero was that good man!
One of my favourite eras, think the season before this one Kobe was putting 35, AI was putting up 30 something and Gil was pretty close too! Miss these players and miss Agent Zero!
Been a Bullet/Wiz fan my entire life and Arenas was one of the most electric players to ever wear a DC uniform, he was fundamentally sound in every aspect of his offensive game, could score off the dribble like it was second nature. He was frustrating to guard he could effectively dribble with either hand and score!!!!!! He made watching fun cuz you knew the "Hibachi" could catch fire at any time and drop15 or 20+ in a quarter!!! and at times he was hilarious in post-game interviews. HIBACHI FOREVER BABY!
The way he moves you could see a perfect pattern of rhythm that you can only seen in the likes of Jordan, Kobe, and Kawhi, it means he is one of a kind and very very rare talent. All in all he is like a perfect Kawhi Leonard.
I used to watch Arenas torch my team(Knicks) every time they played. I was living in DC when this happened, so even more depressing. Nothing but respect for this legend. One of the greatest NBA players ever.
I remember this MONSTER season Gilbert had. Following him for this season was incredible...I remember thinking dam, this dude has just stayed on FIRE for an ENTIRE season. Nobody could stop him. Nobody.... peeps could only hope he missed here and there...
He was honestly doing what Steph Curry is doing now. . The man had range , could dribble anywhere on the court , he was a lot strong than Curry and good in the fourth quarter . He will always be a big what if for me
Antwan Caron and Gilbert was a threat for a few years in Washington we where very competitive them years and won a playoff series….shoutout Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier miss them calling games now a days for the wizards
Arenas gave the business to Kobe and LeBron that whole season. Dude was lighting. Kobe prime could not contain Gilbert…Watching him live, was mystical.Kobe knew it. Lebron knew it.
I was waiting for one highlight, this entire GOAT SZN video.. and it was finally displayed at 20:08-20:12. That crossover and finish on Kobe and the Lakers frontline, was arguably his sickest move, of that season.
He was well on his way to being one of the 🐐 PG's/players/scorers all time. He was fun to watch. And he was doing this during the greatest defensive era in NBA history the 00's. He was like Kevin Durant in a smaller body lol
Growing up in DC as a kid, Agent Zero was my favorite and still is regardless of how his career went! He’s the reason I fell in love with the game at first and I’ll never forget how crushed I was as a youngin’ when I learned about the gun incident 🤦♂️ I knew his career wouldn’t be the same 🤦♂️ the first time I watched James Hardens game in HS it was like watching Agent Zero again now I been rocking with the beard in Houston
I see the similarities too but Arenas has that smooth glide, I swear it was poetry watching him play. Harden is a bit more clumsy and rough around the edges
@@almightysosa2830 Gil is definitely the better mid range shooter harden is the better passer but the finishing with contact and 3pt Gil is just a lil better I agree
@@kibabalefobaki9725i love dam but this boy gil was jus getting started n then u kno the bullshit thw fact he was doing all tht and he was still not even there at his full potential is ridiculous n hes strong to there is nobody i see stopping him

This man was toooo good. Look at these clips man. How pure his shot is, hopping into it whenever. Closer to the best of the best scorers than given credit for. One of those same beasts Kobe was talking about. Insane game
@@mikehammer1777 Gilbert was very streaky look how many games in his prime he’s shot terrible . U don’t know what streaky means I guess. He barely shot over 42%
Alot people forget hibachi this man was the steph curry of the early 2000s shooting long range shots from 40 ft and off the dribble was lethal definitely could have easily a all time pg if it wasnt for his injuries and gun problems I used to like back then alot and he was a nba 08 live cover athlete good times
The night he dropped 60 on Kobe was the best night of my Wizards life. After years and years of mediocrity, this was the first time Sportscenter gave us any respect. First time I felt a Wizards team could contend, even more than the Michael Jordan teams. I was so hyped and slept good.
He’s as quick as a cat stronger than people think can shoot better thank people think both on the dribble and catch and shoot, super crafty underrated athlete can finish at the rim with power and finesse very underrated in the history of the game.
Gilbert was one of if not my favorite player around this exact era. He was so smooth and technical and was just a very very entertaining player to watch. I would play NBA live (b4 2k was the shit) on my psp n I would just stay chucking 3s with Gilbert.
Shouts to Gil despite the fact that I couldn't stand him, i was a fan of how great he was in his era... He had a small window of success due to injury, but he definitely made the best of his opportunity! For his talents Gilbert Arenas should be a Hall-of-famer, but you can also argue he belongs off potential as well.

3:52-3:59 is one of the most underrated ankle breakers of all time
You want some attention? Big Lebron hater?
Jackson wtf does that have to do with LeBron? Am I missing something?
This man was toooo good. Look at these clips man. How pure his shot is, hopping into it whenever. Closer to the best of the best scorers than given credit for. One of those same beasts Kobe was talking about. Insane game
Damn he was cooking both Kobe and lebron !
He could’ve been a HOF instead of a footnote in NBA history. He had a short lived prime but some of the best times for a Wizards fan.
Agent 0 was amazing! He was streaky, though, but when he was hot, he was one of the best scorers of all time. I loved watching him play.
He was not streaky John Starks is streaky, Andrew Wiggins is streaky you don't average 27, 28 and 29 in 3 consecutive seasons being streaky.
@@mikehammer1777 he probably mean some games he’ll be inefficient and shoot under 40%
@@mikehammer1777 Gilbert was very streaky look how many games in his prime he’s shot terrible . U don’t know what streaky means I guess. He barely shot over 42%
Those last clips with the wizards vs the lakers; damn!! Gil was torching damn near the entire roster.
Alot people forget hibachi this man was the steph curry of the early 2000s shooting long range shots from 40 ft and off the dribble was lethal definitely could have easily a all time pg if it wasnt for his injuries and gun problems I used to like back then alot and he was a nba 08 live cover athlete good times
The night he dropped 60 on Kobe was the best night of my Wizards life. After years and years of mediocrity, this was the first time Sportscenter gave us any respect. First time I felt a Wizards team could contend, even more than the Michael Jordan teams. I was so hyped and slept good.
He made it look easy. Never looked like he was really trying.
man Gilbert Arenas was playing 2k out there!!! straight nasty work
He’s as quick as a cat stronger than people think can shoot better thank people think both on the dribble and catch and shoot, super crafty underrated athlete can finish at the rim with power and finesse very underrated in the history of the game.
One of the great what ifs. His confidence then, and shot making ability was incredible. He would’ve been a HOF’er
He's strong af for a point guard, like a little kawhi leonard
Dude wore Louis Vuitton shoes during a game, and dropped 30 like it was nothing LOL !
Phenomenal player in his prime during prime Kobe and Iverson days
You’re an amazing person for making these
My God, how good this man was, pure gold
His cross over is seriously underrated
These are some of the sweetest n loudest swishes ive seen
He dropped 60 on Kobe🔥🔥
his 3s are nasty
In Dolce & Gabbana sneakers
The gold jersey. I used to have it as a kid. It looks great!
One of the most Underrated players I can think of. To bad his career didn't last longer
Arenas, Daniels, Butler, Jamison and Haywood... starting lineups that was something
Dame and Harden in one player.
for us 41 year olds Gilbert was a rotisserie league fantasy KILLER! he hit every stat category.... hope you show his line at the end!
Agent 0 would turn into a mad man every time he matched up against kobe my goodness
Gilbert was one of if not my favorite player around this exact era. He was so smooth and technical and was just a very very entertaining player to watch.
I would play NBA live (b4 2k was the shit) on my psp n I would just stay chucking 3s with Gilbert.
Favorite player of all time, this dude was Steph Curry and Dame Dolla before they were
He had huge hands for a PG/SG. You can see how the ball is like glue on his hands.
10:32-10:52. Listen to the net, on those 4 consecutive jumpers. Full *hibachi mode* activated.
Shouts to Gil despite the fact that I couldn't stand him, i was a fan of how great he was in his era...
He had a small window of success due to injury, but he definitely made the best of his opportunity!
For his talents Gilbert Arenas should be a Hall-of-famer, but you can also argue he belongs off potential as well.
Do Derrick Rose 2011 or Russell Westbrook’s 2017 season
He can do these forever bro. I'm sure all these seasons are coming
I'll never forget this season. He was a MONSTER yo! WILDING
COOKING niggas whole squad this shit ridiculous
One of the best scoring point guards ever.
Others include Steph, AI, Lillard, etc.
how are mj & jordan not listed as the first guards you think of when it comes to scoring…..
@@AngelCruz-kb1cs I said point guards.
Scoring 60 on Kobe is hard enough… doing it in Dolce & Gabbana sneakers is another level
