HIBACHI







We will now be collecting pictures with the word HIBACHI.

GILBERT ARENAS

What can I say. The man is entertaining. Agent Zero, Zero to Hero, Gilly, Gillyweed, Gilbertology, Gil, "Quality Shots", HIBACHI. A quote from the hibachi entry in Wikipedia:

Gilbert Arenas makes "hibachi" a neologism

During the 2006-2007 National Basketball Association season, Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas began to shout the word as he took field goal attempts in games, explaining, "You know, a hibachi grill gets real hot. That's what my shot's like, so I've been calling it that: 'Welcome to the hibachi'."[1] He has also stated that while he is scoring on opponents, he is "cooking chicken and shrimp" in reference to his "Hibachi grill," and that if his opponent wanted to double team him, he would "cook filet mignon" as well. "The Hibachi" has quickly become Arenas' nickname.

There was even a banner made for him "Arenas 'hibachied' Kobe", a play on words as "Kobe" could mean either Kobe Bryant or the famous Japanese Kobe beef. This was referring to the game when Arenas outscored Kobe Bryant 60 to 45.

The term "Hibachi" is now catching on to describe players who are "hot".

Can you believe it? GILBERT ARENAS made it into the hibachi entry in Wikipedia. That's awesome. I wonder if he put that in there himself.

And YES. That picture is a signed jersey by none other than AGENT ZERO himself. That's right. Be jealous.
