“There’s always a line between being a prankster and going too far, and I was always on that line.” Gilbert Arenas perfectly described himself in the Netflix docuseries ‘Shooting Guards’. That shed light on the issue that the ex-Wizards star had to face along with his teammate regarding carrying g– in the locker room. It was not the only legal issue Agent Zero had to face. But recently, he made the revelation of never losing those court cases.
The most notable one involved teammate Javaris Crittenton and playing a “prank” in the locker room. The NBA suspended him indefinitely, and later, the District of Columbia Superior Court brought forward the charges. Apart from this, there were also legal issues surrounding the child support he had to pay to his former partner. In both those cases, the results were in his favor, which is why apparently he was not afraid to deal with another court case with his now wife.
In her vlog. Melli Monaco took Arenas to a date at ‘The Jury Experience: An Immersive Courtroom Case’. It’s a play where people attend and give a verdict on the staged case. Speaking about the verdict, the former NBA star shared his personal experience. “I’m a winner in court. I’m 55 and zero, so 55 and zero this is easy work for me,” said Arenas. Then he detailed his victories to his wife, even the g– charge case.
“So that don’t count, no. I sued people, people tried to sue me, I won sue them back, you feel me. Child support beat them out of it, you know what I mean. So I’m 55-0, okay.” To give context, these numbers are alleged victories that Gilbert Arenas claims to have won. So, let’s look at the cases that he won, starting from the incident in the locker room that led to all the legal drama.
Gilbert Arenas and his wins off the court
ESPN reported, Gilbert Arenas received multiple punishments, such as 30 days in a halfway house, 400 hours of community service, which cannot be conducted at basketball clinics, and a $5,000 fine. This was a win for the 3x All-Star, as the prosecution felt these charges were lenient. Prosecutors wanted Arenas to go to jail for at least three months. This was during his March 2010 hearing, after he pleaded guilty in January 2010. Similarly, in the child support case, Agent Zero had his amount significantly decreased.

Gilbert Arenas began dating ‘Basketball Wives LA’ star Laura Govan in 2002 after making his debut for the Golden State Warriors in 2001-2002. They parted ways in 2014 and have four children together. The initial amount was $20k, but was bumped up to $35k a month in return, so he could spend more time with his children. “I bumped it up to $35K and then I paid for school on top of that which made it $44K. I was originally at $20K, and I went up to $44K. A month later, she [Laura Govan] fouled again.”
As per Arenas’ previous confession, Govan, a month later, wanted another increase, but this time the judge was in favor of the NBA star. “The judge was like, you know that I have to go by what’s on paper. So if you are going to keep coming here, I will have to drop it down to the real number. Eventually, the judge went from $44k to $7,100.” That’s another court case where the verdict came out in his support. That’s why he was confident about winning and bragged to his wife 55-0, because of these positive outcomes.
