Gilbert Arenas apologizes for messing up
He’s probably hoping that it’s not too late to ask the Wizards for more dollars too.
Gilbert Arenas has screwed himself over this 2010 NBA basketball season. Most teams are trying to get rid of their own guys to sign the LeBrons and the Wades in the coming 2010 free agency, and with Arenas getting himself to so much trouble this year, I guess he’s just making it easier for the Wizards organization to cut their ties with his overpaid ass.
But lo and behold, the Washington Wizards got rid of two thirds of their big three before this season’s trading deadline, that being Antawn Jamison (who was sent to Cleveland) and Caron Butler (who was sent to Dallas) leaving the team all alone for Gilbert Arenas to lord over.
Now I don’t know what the deal is here. Why in the world will you keep a guy like Gilbert Arenas who, let’s face it, hasn’t really done shit for you? Go figure. But as far as Arenas is concerned, all he can do at this point is take advantage of the Wizards’ stupidity and ask for more dollars. Of course, he needs to admit to his mistakes first to, at least, save face.
And he did just that.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, Gilbert Arenas said he has messed up the legacy of Wizards owner Abe Pollin, who recently passed away last November.
”I have a painting of him in my garage. I just walk by it with my head down,” Arenas said. ”I called Mrs. Pollin and said, ‘If Abe was still with us, I would’ve had to talk to him, so I’m gonna give you the same respect. I want to say sorry to you. I deserve to be punished. I’ll do everything it takes to get back your husband’s respect.”
Arenas also claims he and teammate Javaris Crittenton returned to good terms immediately after the incident. Of course, that’s a little hard to believe after Crittenton threatened to shoot Arenas’ bum knee with the latter provoking Crittenton to do the deed with one of his own guns.
”He goes into the Jacuzzi,” Arenas told the magazine. ”You know what? I gotta warm my knee up anyway. I go in and sit with him. We’re just sitting in there talking. We didn’t have no problem. It was just some fun that got out of control.”
Hell, Arenas even compared his fucked up situation to another fucked up one, Tiger Woods’ infidelity. He says Woods’ relationship with his wife is not the reason why he loves Tiger Woods.
”At the end of the day, that’s not the reason I love Tiger. I got three Tiger Woods games for my Xbox just in case one gets scratched. On the cover, it doesn’t have him walking next to his wife. It just has Tiger Woods, hitting shots.”
