Gilbert Arenas got serious razor burn first time he shaved his groin area

Gilbert Arenas

Once again, for I dunno, the hundred millionth time, Gil proves to us why he is the greatest athlete on Earth.

Gilbert Arenas shared a story in an interview with Men’s Journal about the worst pain he felt. The story has to do with Arenas being convinced by some of his teammates to shave his manly region.

“When I was new in the NBA the team veterans convinced me to shave, you know, down there, because they said the hair stinks. I used my girlfriend’s razor, which was rusty and gave me keloids. The doctor prescribed medicine to dab on, but I just poured it all over. Three days later I woke up screaming. The skin was burnt off my scrotum, down to my crack, everything — just raw flesh. I still had to run and play, so I used a numbing spray for a month until it healed. Now I use clippers.”

Yowzers! That sounds really painful.

And now if I may, steal a line from Marcel Mutoni of Slam Online — Gilbert Arenas: Where Too Much Information Happens. Now that is one funny story. And that’s what makes Gilbert great. (and he also probably just got a bunch of men thinking, too)
