Gilbert Arenas banned from county fair after winning all the prizes - SBNation.com

Gilbert Arenas took his family to the Orange County Fair, and it turns out he is not bad at carnival games

Per his Instagram, the three-time All-Star was banned from all basketball hoops, but not before racking up several giant pandas, a sack of plush toys and a Minion that is larger than his son.

Lol.

Reminds me of my friend, who has played amateur Basketball, and he won a giant snake toy at a theme park by shooting hoops, leading to my brother having to carry the damn thing around all day because he was the only one who brought a bag with him:lol:

So they can rig the games but he gets banned for being too good? Seems fair.

I feel like they should have toys on backup, just in case an NBA star decides to come in and show off.

...I mean, it's not likely that ever happens. But at least they know now.

LOL - Those games are rigged - It's nice to see some one rack them up for a change - Good for Arenas

I'm sure I could win all the prizes too if I had $5000 to spend!

I think if it was just him blowing ridiculous amounts of money he would not have been banned...

Was he actually banned though?

Even if you make every basket, you'd still end up spending shitloads of cash to get all those prizes!

Not a professional NBA player like him - that's why they banned him. Once they knew who he was - it was over. That would be no different from being able to memorize the cards being played in Las Vegas - Illegal and an unfair edge

You're making it sound like a county fair game is equal to an NBA game. I'm pretty sure most of us have played theme park/fair ground hoops and it's not exactly tricky to make a lot of baskets!

There's no law against counting cards, but the casino does reserve the right to make you leave at any time for any reason.

You better double check that one pal - I've been there and they will kick your ass out in a hurry.
