When many people think of NBA players a lot of times it is associated with how much money that player makes or how good (or bad) that player plays on the floor. But what if we dug deeper and talked about how skillful of a writer a player is or how interesting his blog was? For many of the general public, they wouldn’t even think that at NBA player has the time or the skill to write an award winning blog. Well if you do think that you are wrong.
Gilbert Arenas is a point guard who plays for the NBA’s Washington Wizards. Many people know him for his skills on the court but off the court he is the winner of the 2007 Weblog Award Winner for the Best Celebrity Blog. His blogs are also referenced sometimes in sports media outlets such as ESPN simply because of the interesting opinions he puts in his blogs and the inside news he reports on.
What does Gilbert Arenas write about? Surprisingly it isn’t all about basketball. His most recent post has him talking about the fact that his girlfriend has just proposed to him. He describes his feelings about it and even posts pictures of the event. 14 people have commented on it so far and I’m sure many others will as his blog totals in over 2,000 comments.
Even though many will say that this is the best blog in the NBA, there are other players that have their own blogs too. These blogs also cover a wide range of topics and give the reader and inside look at their favorite players and their favorite teams. It just goes to show you that NBA players aren’t just good at playing basketball and making tons of money. They have other skills as well.
