Washington Wizard star Gilbert Arenas has stepped up to help the education system in The Washington DC. For every point he scores this season at home games he will donate a $100 while every point he scares on the road the team owner will do the same. Adidas has produced a sneaker to honor Arenas; the Adidas Gil II Zero “Scores for Schools”. You can pick up the sneakers on the 8th of February 2008.
