hibachi!
let me take a moment to share with you the story of my favorite non-Rocket basketball player, agent zero.


some of you may know him by his alias, gilbert arenas. he is in his 6th year in the NBA, and he plays point guard for the washington wizards.

the reason he wears the number 0 is that when he showed up at the university of arizona, all his homies told him that was the number of minutes he'd be getting on the court. gil still wears the number as a reminder of his humble beginnings.

arenas is a real cool guy. you can tell by just reading his blog, which i've been reading for about a month now. just a down-to-earth, fun-loving son of a gun. here's a short excerpt.

I brang out the hibachi against Dallas. That’s when I first started saying it, that I was the "hibachi."

It was some legal terms with one of my teammates. I had to buy the name from him. Brendan Haywood, he takes all the good names and waits for someone to buy it, so I had to buy the hibachi grill from him.

He’s been saying it, like if somebody did it to us he would be like, “Oh man, you got the hibachi grill tonight.”

so i guess i can help to decipher this quote to some of you. this is a hibachi grill:


it gets real hot. like his jumpshot.

Me and Antawn turned on the hibachi grill and we was cookin’.

Every time I make it, every time I shot the ball, I screamed out, “Hibachi!”

still don't get it? well fear not. i got this shirt delivered to me a couple days ago, so it might help to clear some things up:


zero to hero, baby. zero to hero. HIBACHI!
