There are plenty of athletes who just need to go away, but I’m not sure there’s one I want to see disappear more than former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas.
The man known as “Agent Zero” has remained in the news for a couple reasons over the past year or so—none of which look good for him, like this and this—but Arenas made headlines the other day when he posted an Instagram pic asking the L.A. Lakers to sign him to a 10-day contract so that he could take in Kobe Bryant’s last home game in the NBA.

Arenas, who is from L.A., found out that tickets to see Bryant’s final home game in the Staples Center are sold out—shocking right?—so is trying to use his balling/negotiation skills to land with the Lakes for a courtside view of The Black Mamba’s finale, and he’ll even PAY for his own seat on the bench.
The full caption from Gil reads like this:

Arenas was once a freakin’ offensive star in the league, but now he’s just a sideshow—although, if this works, he’ll be a mad genius.
