What is the Gilbert Arenas Rule?

The Gilbert Arenas Rule helped a lot of teams after its introduction.

Gilbert Arenas was a problem in his prime.

He was one of the best clutch shooters -much like Damian Lillard- in the NBA and when he got hot, there was no stopping him.

Arenas played a modern type of game, where he shot a lot of threes (attempted 7 per game), but was also adept at shooting the mid-range and attacking the basket.

He was big and strong and athletic and there weren’t many point guards that could defend him when he drove downhill.

Between 2004 and 2007, his All-Star and All-NBA years, he averaged 27.7 points on 43 percent shooting.
