Agent Zero is embarking on a new chapter, Skyfall style, as Wizards household name Gilbert Arenas told Ice Cube he’s joining BIG3 live on The No Chill Podcast.

Hibachi alert, Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, best known for his stint on the Washington Wizards is coming to make a statement at Ice Cube’s BIG3 league. The man is ready to train in his words like he’s playing for a $100 million dollar contract on the hardwood. Arenas joked on The No Chill Podcast that he wants all his former Wizards teammates “who didn’t shoot” naming Brendan Haywood, Etan Thomas, Kwame Brown, and surprisingly, DeShawn Stevenson! Arenas commented that “they already know my style” and even tried to recruit Coach Eddie Jordan back too. “Eddie Jordan, where you at? We know the plays!”

No word on reforming the original Wizards ‘BIG 3’ with Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler! Arenas did joke however, “I ain’t trying to pass the ball!” Or was that really a joke? Fans will find out in the upcoming season 3 of BIG3, which has recently announced the arrivals of Lamar Odom, Royce White, Kendrick Perkins, Shannon Brown, Daniel Gibson, Shannon Brown, Steve Blake, Carlos Arroyo, Will Bynum, and Perry Jones III to the league.

Check out The No Chill Podcast video below where after Ice Cube hands over some BIG3 gear to Arenas to keep the league in mind, only to have Arenas instantly respond, “I’m just gonna say yes now!”

Arenas was named NBA Most Improved Player in 2003, his second year in the league. That same year he was the NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Game MVP. Arenas was drafted 31 overall by the Golden State Warriors as a second round draft pick. Arenas, along with Hall of Famer Manu Ginóbili, proved without a shadow of a doubt that a player’s draft number doesn’t say anything about their ceiling or level of play. Just the scouting departments who missed out on these superstars. Arenas was ALL-NBA Second Team in 2007 as well as All-NBA Third Team in 2005, 2006 prior.

Agent Zero was a three-time NBA All-Star from 2005 to 2007. He averaged 20.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game throughout his NBA career on the Warriors, Wizards, Magic, and Grizzlies. He last played professional basketball for the Shanghai Sharks overseas in the 2012-2013 season. Arenas stated in the interview above he’ll be training hard the next four months as he returns to the game he loves, his second home.
