Gilbert Arenas Kicked Out Of County Fair After Winning All The Prizes

Three-time All-Star Gilbert Arenas left the NBA in 2012, but that doesn’t mean he lost his shot.

The former Washington Wizards star was asked to leave the Orange County Fair after he nearly bankrupted the basketball tent of all its prizes.

“We just got banned from all the basketball hoops at #orangecountyfair…every one screamed #theRimsarebent I screamed #hibachi …#ArenasFamily #CountyFairRockstars”

I always thought the “basketball rims” at those bullshit carnival games were oval-shaped and that’s why my perfect shot never drained like it does on a regular court (Editor’s note: It doesn’t), but Arenas has clearly found a way to sink shots with his nice NBA-caliber stroke. I can only imagine how easy it was for him, or how nervous the stoner kid in the booth was after handing over six months worth of prize inventory in a matter of minutes.

Apparently, Arenas hit the daily maximum prize limit of 15 giant stuffed animals — which is a nonsense rule.

If you go to the fair, there shouldn’t be “prize limits.” Maybe that flies in another country, but not the United States. This is a nation built on hard work, and limiting our ability to win giant, human-size Minions is violating a God-given right and disrespecting what this country is all about.

        Steve, you’re so fucking retarded that starving kids in Africa would turn down the chance to stay with you on a permenant visa. I can’t believe that a higher power would allow such a DNA fuck up. You write so horribly, I understand why the Special Olympics wouldn’t let you in. They have standards. Go chug a gallon of gas.

        For a second, I thought Steve had been lapped all the way down to Rushee status, then I saw the subtle difference between the names.

        You have a real opportunity to be something special with this username, don’t fuck it up.

    New gameplan: Helmet stickers gets the Chive treatment. A reminder not to comment and a blackball Steve comment. Kill his articles with lack of traffic

    What a waste of money… No not Gilbert spending it on carnival attractions, but TFM paying SteveHolt for these articles.
