Gilbert Arenas was admonished by the NBA for making $10 bets with fans during the Washington Wizards' loss at Portland on Wednesday.

"We spoke to Gilbert and explained the issue to him," NBA spokesman John Acunto said Sunday. "And he assured us he wouldn't do anything like this again."

Arenas made the bets as he bantered with fans throughout the Wizards' 100-98 loss. He was booed during pregame introductions and whenever he touched the ball because he had promised to score 50 points against the Trail Blazers.

After the game, Arenas said he bet a fan $10 that he would make the game-winning basket. He missed badly -- throwing up a shot that fell short of the rim -- and finished with only 19 points.

"I owe somebody 10 bucks," Arenas said. "I bet a fan if I had a chance I would make the last shot."

Doesn't the NBA having anything better to do than worry over $10 bets? I think David Stern is ruining the NBA...every year it seems to get worse...not like the great game it was in the 1970's and 80's. :(
 
Even though he is just having fun and it's only 10bucks Arenas is over doing it. Does he thinks he is the greatest or something? Arenas is always getting into trouble for the stupidest stuff..

i dont see anything wrong with the $10 bet... its just simple fun with a fan, i actually like the interaction he is willing to give with a fan (of the oposing team nonetheless).
i know he seems to like the attention, but i dont think this reflects his attitude of him being the greatest what so ever.... just f-u-n.
