Should Gilbert Arenas come back and play this season?

Like real basketball, as well as basketball video games? Talk about the NBA, NCAA, and other professional and amateur basketball leagues here.

Kwame Brown and Allen Iverson are the only players to appear on the edition of the game in consecutive years and Kwame Brown has appeared on the cover the most times.


:lol:

edit: just noticed this.

Each of the games has Legends Teams from each decade 60's, 70's 80' and 90's but the game does not feature Kwame Brown as a legend on any NBA2k except NBA 2k3.

At the time of this post, it seems the Kwame Brown edits have been removed but Michael Jordan is listed as the cover player for 2K9.

lol, this is getting ridiculous. Someone should contact Wikipedia. Who the heck is Jonathan Reyes?

I don't get some people. Why waste time editing Wiki articles to promote a guy that isn't even a basketball player?

The same reason people create computer viruses and spraypaint their name on someone else's building. Some people just get a kick out of irritating and/or inconveniencing others.

Lol...Fatoine Walker :lol: . This never ends.

EDIT: Oop. Bring on the Darko fetish.

Is this page going to be challenging for the most vandalised Wiki article? Although you can't beat Altantic Record's page after Wierd Al went through with it.

I'll get right on that. These people who don't think the internet is serious business really get my goat.

Tell them Lamrock was the last one to vandalize it too. Hopefully they'll throw the book at him.

Funny thing is, these guys left their IP adresses for everyone to see. Of course, benji was one step ahead of me already.

76.104.183.205: Seattle, Washington.

EDIT: benji, I wasn't trying to be funny on that one. And your custom title is pissing me off.

EDIT2: What do you mean I don't exist? You think I'm some kind of spambot?

The JT droid is clearly malfunctioning. Someone take it back to the warehouse for repairs.

It will probably still be Chris Paul considering the 2K series history of not regularly changing cover players. That is if Take Two hasn't been taken over by EA.

Self-realization means you have pretty good artificial intelligence.
Anyway, found this article dating back to December last year.

Russian computer program fakes chatroom flirting

I know the NLSC is no dating chatroom but the level of technology makes it plausible that it's also applicable to message boards.
It employs highly intelligent and customized dialogue to target users of social networking systems

the program "can monitor Internet browser activity, automatically recognize and fill in the fields in the web pages, generate keystrokes and mouse clicks, and post messages, URLs, files and photos

It can do exactly what users normally do when they are online, only in an automated pre-programmed way

Arenas Eyes Return 'Way Before' Playoffs

ORLANDO, March 19 -- Another day produced another update on the possible return of three-time all-star guard Gilbert Arenas, who continues to test his surgically repaired left knee with workouts like the one he went through before Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic (shooting drills and one-on-one moves with a trainer).

"I'll be back way before the playoffs," Arenas said. "Hopefully, within this week I'll be playing or maybe on the that West Coast road trip."


It seems the prognosis is changing daily. Even if Arenas is coming back, with thirteen games left on the Wizards' schedule the window for a return "way before" the Playoffs is pretty small.

Arenas Wants To Play But Wiz Don't Clear Him
Gilbert Arenas was confident he would be in uniform when the Wizards took on the Pistons on Sunday, but then was unhappy to learn he was not cleared to play, the Associated Press is reporting.

So confident that he would be playing after participating in the team's morning shootaround that he did not bring the correct attire to sit on the bench.

As he exited the locker room about an hour before the game, Arenas told reporters: "Y'all don't have to write any more. I'm not coming back this year." But he reappeared during the first half of the game, wearing a tan sport coat as he took his seat on the bench


Can't say he doesn't keep people guessing.

Arenas came back and is playing against the Bucks right now. He has 12 points at the half.

I noticed he'd been cleared. Seems like today was a day for comebacks with Arenas, Nowitzki and Gasol returning from their most recent ailments and Elton Brand playing his first game of the season after offseason surgery.

I won't be shocked if the wizards let him go in the offseason.
