Lakers: Gilbert Arenas Asks LA For 10-Day Contract So He Can See Kobe’s Last Game
By Eric Yee
Courtside tickets to a Lakers game are so steep that even ex-NBA players are devising new ways to watch Kobe Bryant’s last hurrah
Ever since his departure from the NBA, Gilbert Arenas hasn’t shied away from letting his opinions be known on social media, specifically on Instagram. From debates about LeBron James and Michael Jordan, his most recent Insta-rant revolves around the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the novel-esque post, filled with hashtags and insults, Arenas laments that tickets to Kobe’s last home game against the Utah Jazz are sold out, a problem to which Arenas offered a hilarious solution.
Instead of asking for tickets, he implores the Lakers front office for a 10-day contract between April 3rd and April 13th, so he can watch the Black Mamba up close and personal. Not only does he do that, but he goes onto specify where he would prefer to sit on the Lakers’ bench.

With Kobe’s final goodbye drawing closer by the instant, Arenas may have to shell out the cash in order to get his wish.
Formerly known as Agent Zero, Arenas was once an assassin on the basketball court so what do you think of his new found devotion to becoming a profession troll?
