Ball Don't Lie - NBA

I won't name names or where I found this, but the first six episodes of Gilbert Arenas' new reality television show have been leaked onto the Internet, months before Gil's even decided whether he's going to film the series. (I know, weird, eh?) But here they are, all six episode summaries. The show sounds pretty entertaining.

Season 1 | Episode 1: "The Bed and Breakfast"
Gilbert Arenas is determined to open a quaint Bed and Breakfast called 'Nacho Pillows,' except he has no money after installing a million-dollar poolside grotto. So after meeting with his financial consultant (Dominic McGuire in glasses), Gil decides to hold a big ol' garage sale. Overwhelmed by the amount of miscellaneous junk he has in storage, Gil calls in his good friend Nick Young to help him sort through the mess. They attempt to catch a bullhead shark with BBQ tongs. Hijinx ensue.

Season 1 | Episode 2: "The Birthday"
Gil turns 27 and receives a Terra Wind Amphibious RV from all of his teammates. (Well, except for Pecherov — he opts out of the group gift to buy Gil a previously viewed "Avenging Angelo" DVD.) Darius Songaila tries to organize a secret post-shoot around party for Gil, but Coach Eddie Jordan quickly squashes those plans because they have a game later that night. Furious, Songaila quits the team, flies back to Lithuania, and gets into the hotel management business.

Season 1 | Episode 3: "The Big City"
The Wizards take a bite of the Big Apple when they travel to New York to play the Knicks. After an embarrassing loss to the hometown team, the Wiz try to relax with a dinner at Andray Blatche's favorite haunt, the macabre Jekyll & Hyde Restaurant. But the good times are shortly interrupted when Brendan Haywood becomes convinced there is an evil spirit trapped in his pumpkin tortellini. Gil eats the meal to prove him wrong. The next day, they all go to a taping of The View.

Season 1 | Episode 4: "The Vasectomy"
Gil thinks about getting a vasectomy, but it proves to be a tougher decision than he initially thought. Pecherov has unsteady hands. Meanwhile, DeShawn Stevenson calls in sick to work on his own Wikipedia page. ("DeShawn Stevenson, born April 3, 1981 in Fresno, California, is a warrior, man, a true warrior.")

Season 1 | Episode 5 | "The Race"
Gilbert and Nick head to a professional car race to check out the new Indy Car team Gil just bought a stake in (Team Phantom). Nick begs Gil to let him take the car for a spin, but Gil says no. ("You're horrible at Mario Kart, Nick!"). Of course, that doesn't stop young Nicholas. While Gil is busying singing the national anthem, Nick takes the car out onto the track and somehow ends up in the race. He finishes fourth.

Season 1 | Episode 6: "The Fast"
Can Caron go without Mountain Dew for an entire day? That's what Gilbert wants to find out. Gil tells every Wizards player, coach, trainer and vendor one very simple message: "Don't give Caron a Mountain Dew." It's a long day, but in the end the All-Star forward logs 24 extreme-beverage-free hours. Unfortunately, though, by the time the fast is over he's addicted to crack. Caron fails a drug test and is suspended three years. The Wizards fail to make the playoffs. Gil hosts a progressive rock concert in his solarium.

By the way, word has it the producers of the show are looking for new episode ideas. So, hey, leave your own Gil episode summaries in the comments and I'll see if I can get them in the right hands. Yeah, I'm pretty well connected.

Have a great weekend, folks.

    Haha, I didn't go into reading this with high hopes, but it was legitimately very funny. The actual show will inevitably disappoint.

    This was pretty weak. Sounded like a high school kid who wrote it.

    Season 1|Episode 7: "The Duel"
    After trash talking the Cavaliers and publicly guaranteeing a victory, Gil tries to fulfill his own prophecy. The game is tied at 97-97. During the final timeout Gil, always the ambitious one, challenges a fan to a hotdog eating contest. So full he can no longer stand Arenas promptly reenters the game and drills a game-winner while sitting on the court. Later, during a visit to the Tonight Show as Gil tells of his amazing feat, Leno challenges him to eat 25 more hotdogs. After the visit to the hospital to get his stomach pumped Gil discovers that Oleksey Pecherov's Hoover vacuum is not a credited medical tool.

    Season 1 Finale: Gil throws a massive party at his place, with a slide show of the year in review: Gils seventeen buzzer beaters (including the one sitting down), the second round of the Stevenson/Arenas shooting contest (where instead of using one hand, Gill pulls off the amazing feat of no hands and kicks in 98/100 three pointers--the two he missed he tried with his left foot), and of course the myriad of TV appearances including when he went on "The View" with a wig dressed like Halle Berry, the Dave Letterman appearance where Dave counted down Gil's top ten sayings of the year (#1 was "S-- is like a gilbert arenas buzzer beater: you never know where its gonna come from, but you know its going in") and of course the appearance on High Stakes Poker where Gil gets Jerry Buss to go "All in" with the Laker franchise at stake, and wins, becoming the world's first player for one team/owner of another (he gets D Stern to agree to this after revealing he has some "pictures" he wouldn't want out on the internet). Guests to the fabulous party include The Lebron, Madonna, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, J-Lo, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Brangelina, and about 100 others known by one name only (or a symbol).

    Season 1. Episode (Random Number)
    Gilbert Arenas' financial adviser, and banker tell him that sadly he has run out of money. However, Gilbert decides to join the circus, and practices at his house. First he practices many jumps off of his grotto, and into the pool. Then he goes and practices tightrope walking on the electric wire near his house. Sadly, It turns out that his banker and financial were joking, and were trying to trick him. They laugh for about an hour, and then they go and clean Gilbert's house for the remaining half hour of the show.

    As a lifelong Bullets/Wizards fan I wish Gilbert and his teammates would just concentrate on being a better team and doing whatever it takes to bring a championship to Washington.

    I am also a lifelong Bullets fan, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with your Wizards trivia. I'm sure Bullets Forever could have written it better, but considering your speciality is the entire NBA, this was pretty good.

    this one goes to steven s.... if you're from the US, then shame on you hating on the US basketball team. About the comment you just made on the spaniards being lucky, don't be mad if Kobe and Lebron put on a show at the gold medal game.. Now that last game, either if Emanuel Ginobili was or wasn't in the game the US still would've stomped them. Not only if Kobe and/or Lebron gets hurt or something, the US team has a whole lot of weapons on the team. So the spaniards better get ready because the US team is on a mission and won't be stopped. And it is not about being lucky, it's about the effort of playing as a team, not as an individual like they did four years ago.

    Gilbert Arenas is a pathetic wannabe-superstar who tries to make up for his lack of superstardom with some comedy. I still cant believe how this guy got over 110 million dollars.....only in AMerica!!!!
