<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After emerging last season as one of the NBA's most dangerous offensive threats -- rising to No. 3 in the league in scoring -- and leading the Wizards to a playoff berth, Gilbert Arenas can add another entry to his illustrious resume: NBA Live 08 cover athlete.Electronic Arts announced that the Wizards' all-star guard known to many as Agent Zero will not only grace the cover of the popular EA SPORTS title, but will also serve as spokesman for the game."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 video game."Arenas finished the 2006-07 regular season averaging 28.4 points and 6.0 assists per game. Arenas was the first player from the 2001 draft class to be named to the All-Star team in 2005 and now has three consecutive all-star appearances to his credit. In the ultimate salute to his climb from relative unknown to NBA All-Star, fans voted Arenas a starter on the Eastern Team at the 2007 NBA All-Star Game. Fueled by a combination of talent and a larger-than-life personality, Arenas has risen from below the radar into the NBA spotlight. His breakout 2007 season included authoring a blog on NBA.com that established a direct relationship with his fans, and a well-known catch phrase (Hibachi!). Dubbed Agent Zero in reference to his jersey number, Arenas chose zero as a reminder of his underdog mentality that drives him to succeed. Off the court, Arenas is devoted to many charitable organizations including the NBA Cares program, and created the Zer0 2 Hero Foundation to promote the well-being of children.</div>
