Agent Zero and Self Confidence

I'm going to tell you a story. There is a point to this story, so please bear with me:

Last year, in the deep trench warfare that was NBA basketball season, one moment stuck out to me and probably always will. The player was Gilbert Arenas, team the Washington Wizards, opponent unremembered (cause who remembers the loser, anyway?). There were less than ten seconds on the game clock and the Wiz were down by 2. Since Arenas, who will henceforth be referred to as Agent Zero, was the best player on the team, just about everybody knew he was getting the ball for the final shot. The play began, and the defense was obviously trying to keep Z as far from the basket as possible, which ended up being about five feet behind the three point arc. The pass, a defender in his face, the ball fake, the shot...seconds ticking away, slow motion. And here's the kicker...AZ turns his back to the basket while the ball is in the air, not needing to watch his shot go in, and raises his finger in the air to call his make. Of course he buried it, the Wiz won the game and eventually got to the playoffs. He continued walking off the court with his finger raised high, ignoring his teammates who were attempting to mob him, and walked calmly to the locker room. The epitome of cool, confident, collected, and professional. 

So what's the point? What does this have to do in any way with my life, or yours for that matter?

I want to be that confident. And I don't know how. I'm pretty sure it's something you're born with, like maybe Zero did that with wadded up paper in kindergarden long before he hit the hardwood. Maybe it's something you can learn, like those lame fucktards on the "Pick up Artist" show on VH1. I have no idea. Whatever it is, something vital is lacking in my life, and I need to find out how to get it. Any suggestions?

At least I'm not a drunk anymore, right?
