Kershaw or Verlander? Arenas has already vouched on playing in the BIG3 league another season but looks to have more interest in the business side of helping improve the ratings for the company. Back in January, Arenas also voiced that he would pick up coaching basketball after Kobe Bryant passing as it was what the former Los Angeles Lakers had asked him to do. However, that was disappointingly short-lived due to persistent leg injuries that prevented him from performing at an elite level.

Meanwhile, the firearms incident will always be tied to his name during his time in the league. This humorous back and forth represents the fact that Gilbert has always pushed the envelope and dictated his own rules.

While I do not deny the team could have been in favor for the aggressive rehab, the player knows his body. This makes zero sense. Gilbert does not strike me as someone who would risk his personal health and would consult with the best person s available in order to get back on the court. This latest rambling and self-edifying nonsense is simply another example of Gilbert placing the blame elsewhere when it is his responsibility to be truthful about his condition.

That night the Wizards were playing the Charlotte Bobcats when forward Gerald Wallace missed a layup in traffic and fell into Arenas' left knee, tearing his medial collateral ligament MCL.

Even at the time, the injury did not seem as daunting as a torn anterior cruciate ligament ACL or Achilles tendon, yet little did we know Arenas would never be the same. That moment was the beginning of the end of one of the most promising careers in the NBA at the time. Arenas rose to stardom quickly, but he crashed just as fast, leaving many to this day wondering what could have been. Arenas' ascension began with the Golden State Warriors, where he went from a second-round draft pick to the NBA's most improved player in to free agency, all in a span of two years.

Due to a loophole in the league's collective bargaining agreement that has since been changed, Arenas was able to bolt from the Warriors and sign for more money with the Wizards. And by his third year he was competing for scoring titles, averaging The Wizards had been to the playoffs just once in 16 years before when Arenas helped lead them to three straight postseason runs.
