Gilbert Arenas - Guard, Basketball
When no-one else believes in you – believe in yourself
Hi, I’m Gilbert Arenas and this is my story: When I entered the NBA, the first 40 games of my career I sat on the bench. They said I was gonna play zero minutes. You know, I just think they didn’t see the talent that I had. They thought I was a zero. Instead of sitting there being bitter, I just practiced, practiced. If no one believes in you, anything you do is a positive. It wasn’t even about basketball any more, it was about proving them wrong. Now the reason I wear No. 0 is because it lets me know that I need to go out there and fight every day.
