Hibachi!

That's probably what retired NBA player Gilbert Arenas was yelling as he sunk hoop after hoop at an Orange County Fair basketball game in Costa Mesa, California.

Maybe this was the training he was referring to when he said he wanted to come out of retirement. Still, it's hard to be mad at him when he's surrounded by smiling kids and enough stuffed animals to make a plushy bed out of.

Keep turning up the heat, Arenas, Hibachi lives on.
