Gilbert Arenas is goofy, smart and entertaining as hell. Oh yeah, and he happens to be a great ball player.

On his latest blog post, he references the time leading up to his draft day when he felt like the Celtics owner trashed him. Now, he plots revenge in the form of a bold prediction:

Oh man, everybody is jumping on this Celtics band wagon. You know what? I was going to go prediction-free for the whole year, but I guess I’m going to break that now.

Now, if anybody remembers back when I got drafted, I got a report back that the reason I dropped so far in the draft was that Jim O’Brien of the Celtics said that I was too immature and that I wasn’t ready for the NBA. What really happened was that I had an Achilles injury and I went back to L.A. to go get it healed when I was supposed to have a two-day workout in Boston with O’Brien. He didn’t like that. So word came back to me that he was trashing me and it put this knife through my chest about the Boston Celtics.

Back in the day when I would day dream I thought that if I could score 100 points against any team it would be the Boston Celtics. Now, I knew it would never happen, but if I could do one thing in the NBA it would be to score 100 against Boston. So anyway, since everybody is back on the Boston bandwagon it brought back old memories. So listen here. On November 2nd, we’re going to go into that building, we’re opening up Boston. Right now I’m telling the Boston fans: You guys are going to lose. It’s not going to be a victory for Boston. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn’t winning in Boston for the season opener. I’m sorry.

Please Gil, don’t hurt em! Will this be another Phoenix Suns prediction-and-follow-through or Portland Trailblazers bust? Tune in November 2nd and find out.

Among other topics covered in his post is an offer to Mark Ecko to purchase the Barry Bonds no. 756 home run ball to preserve and keep it from any tainting planned. Doubt it’ll work but hey, at least it’s an athlete coming to the aid of a fellow athlete who happens to be under enormous scrutiny.
