Call him Agent Zero, call him The Hibachi, or call him Dr. Crazypants, Gilbert Arenas is now the cover athlete for NBA live 2008. The 6'4" point guard (2 inches short than me) for the Washington Wizards will be appearing on all versions of the game, including the first versions of NBA Live for the Wii and PS3, following the cancellation of the 2007 PlayStation version late last year.

Despite his slightly crazy attitude that fans and players alike have dubbed "Gilbertology," the once second-round draft pick has worked his way up to being an All-Star starter and now what many of today's athletes consider a supreme honor, the EA cover shot.

"This is a dream come true," said Arenas. "I'm a huge gamer and have been playing NBA LIVE since 1995. I never imagined that I would see my face on the cover of an EA SPORTS videogame."

Dreams can come true. He's living proof.
