Gilbert Arenas is too good at carnival games, gets banned

Gilbert Arenas may no longer be playing in the NBA, but he is still using his sharpshooting to his advantage.

The former Arizona Wildcat said on Instagram Sunday that he had been banned from the Orange County Fair — for being too good.

Arenas and his children, adorned in prizes from the fair’s basketball game, clearly seem very happy that their father is a former NBA All-Star who was aptly nicknamed “Agent Zero.”

The 33-year-old averaged 20.7 points per game for his NBA career, shooting 42.1 percent from the floor (35.1 percent on 3-pointers) en route to three All-Star appearances.

While others at the fair cried at the bent rim, Arenas said in the post, the former pro said one thing.

“Hibachi.”
