This guy is a true talent off the court and off.....I guess.

"...Last time I checked, I didn’t choke anybody. I didn’t say I need to feed my family. My kids eat McDonald’s, how much money do I need to feed them? Cheeseburgers have gone up from 49 cents to 69 cents, so I could complain about that I guess."
More ramblings
"At the end of the day, I had to go home anyway to pick up a collared shirt and a sports jacket. It’s about a 35 minute drive each way. On the way home I was listening to music and I started to calm down thinking, “Let me hurry up and get back, they’re thinking I’m going to be mad and stay home.
Which I was mad, but I really wanted to watch the game at the end of the day.
So I came on back and got there at the end of the first period and then I waited until the period was over and went out there on the bench at the beginning of the second period.
It was just me and my car … speeding -- something that I shouldn’t be doing.
Then I got that thought that I know everybody gets once in a while, I was like, “You know, what if I just ran my car into this pole right here?”
I don’t know why I thought that, but I kept going with it.
“Then I can jump off the road into this lake and just swim … or drown. Whichever one comes first.”
It was really devastating. I was thinking, “Mannn, again?!”
But I listened to Young Jeezy’s verse in “They Know” to get me past those bad thoughts … plus, I’m sane. I’m a sane person, I wouldn’t do that to myself.
About his son's birthday party
"I finally went out and left my house and actually went to the club for Caron’s birthday party. It was nice, the food was great and there were a lot of people there.
Kim Kardashian was there … Carmen Electra was there … I was there. Everybody had a good time.
My son’s birthday party was a different story.
That was the bomb. I spent a total of $30.
I went to Safeway and bought him a nice little cake, and then I went to 31 Flavors and bought me a cake. I needed a little ice cream cake of my own.
Then I had Doritos in the house, and the milk and orange juice in the house. So snacks and beverages were covered.
Then I bought two lollipops, because if my son has a lollipop my daughter would want one too.
Then I bought a balloon without the string, because I couldn’t find somebody to put the string in.
And I bought one candle.
While we were singing “Happy Birthday,” my daughter was singing, “Happy Birthday to me,” even though it was her brother’s birthday.
“Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me.”
I have a big deejay booth downstairs in my house and we had a lot of fun. I played music and they danced and they spilled and they ate everything.
Can you feel the Gilbertology?
O Gilbert. You so crazy.
