And his idea for a future product:
It’s called the Cool Aid. It’s like the microwave, but the Cool Aid. So for instance you can put a warm soda in the machine and boom, it’s cold. Most people, “Oh no, you call that the freezer”, but nah, the freezer takes two minutes. Just like you’ve got the oven and the microwave, you’ve got the freezer and the Cool Aid.

Fortunately, they still have Gil, and his weird, weird interviews.

Gilbert Arenas on Antawn Jamison
Truth About It - Washington Wizards Blog —
... never argued on the floor, you got something there." If Arenas can ultimately learn how to conduct himself as a professional from a classy vet such as Antawn Jamison (and there are plenty of signs that AJ is already rubbing off on Gil), then I've got more hope for him than ever before.....and perhaps he's got more maturity than I've previously given him credit for. On Another Note..... Gil had another one of his 'Agent Wacky Pants' interviews with Slam Magazine, where he was ranked #17 in their top 50. I've ...

... stuff you might tell your best friend when you're a bit drunk. And as is usually the case, I think, by being more open and honest he doesn't stand out or look silly or give himself cause for embarrassment – the reason most of us remain governed by that common sense gene – he actually gives people a reason to go: “I can relate” – even if the details aren't really all that similar. It's the honesty that makes it work. It's a must-read . And as if that wasn't enough. He joins Slam for a Q-and-A and is even more awesome, if that's possible. Among other things he says – he'd marry ...

Monday Notes: Pistons top Bucks, Hollinger projections, Skiles' drive
Brew Hoop —
Let's be clear: Everyone wins in the MACC Fund Game regardless of the result. That said, the Bucks depart to China still lacking an on-court victory in the preseason after falling to the Pistons 111-99 on Saturday. The preseason continued to reflect the past half-decade for these two franchises, as the perennial Central Division champs improved to 4-0 while the Bucks dropped to 0-4. And while preseason records don't really matter, this game featured Milwaukee at its closest to full strength yet. The starting lineup-- Luke Ridnour, Michael Redd, Richard Jefferson, Charlie Villanueva, and Andrew Bogut-- is the projected opening night ...

... they’re not knowledgeable about basketball. You don’t tell LeBron “Get to the hole and make finger rolls.” You don’t say, “Shaq, when you get into the lane, do a fadeaway hook.”
I’m a great scorer. I’ve been a great scorer my whole career. I could average 10 assists no problem, but no coach has asked me to do that. It’s like, you have to let Jordan be Jordan; he can’t be anything else.
