I got the Halo team. I guess everybody is finding out about that. I’m just a big video gamer. I love video games. That’s my off the court project that I own a Halo team called “Final Boss.” They’ll be competing for the championship in Vegas on the 17th or 15 of November; around that area.
Maybe he could buy the NBA Live team and create a great game that will rival the 2K series. Arenas knows his videogame-basketball, he's a 2K fan!
I was tired of people telling me, “Man, I’m sorry you got hurt.” And I was like, “You know what? Look, I’m not a liar. I got cut. I was getting cut. That’s it.” I was getting cut and it happens. It happens to the best of us. I just got to bounce back, that’s it.
I want politicians coming to me and asking me for advice … I know nothing about politics, but, hey. So if I can control the people in D.C., then they have to come talk to me. I want to set up restaurants and get into Starbucks.
The best way is that you have to have extended arms; you got to be an octopus out there. Most people call me weird, but I’m kind of smart when it comes to stuff like that.
He's scaring me now. He must be thinking of himself as the Godfather.
Regarding "The Tent":

WASHINGTON -- Take a deep breath, and get ready for the latest in Gilbertology: Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas is thinning the air in his house.
"I had my house converted to the Colorado altitude, so I am always above sea level," Arenas said Monday at the Wizards annual pre-training camp media day.
Say what? He's going to live at high altitude in the nation's capital?
"You know, that's kind of weird," Arenas said.
He'll get plenty of nods with that statement, but, yep, he's really doing it. Instead of going to the mountains to train _ as some endurance athletes do _ Arenas has hired a company to simulate those conditions in a home environment.
Arenas' hopes the living arrangement will give him more energy in the fourth quarter of NBA games, when everyone else is getting tired from breathing the same old heavy air.
"How I start the game is how I finish the game," he said.
There's always something up with Arenas, whether it was his revelation last year that he played online poker during halftimes, or the multitude of ways he finds to keep chips on his shoulders. No wonder coach Eddie Jordan said last week that he hadn't spoken much to Arenas this summer because he could stand only so much "Gilbertology."
Even so, there's a feeling he's never really been given his due. That's why he wears the No. 0 _ he was supposed to get zero minutes at the University of Arizona. Yes, he was an All-Star last season, but only as a late replacement for an injured player.
Fuel was added to the fire this summer, when Arenas was among the final cuts for the U.S. world championship team. The convenient excuse was that he had a strained groin, but Arenas said he essentially withdrew after learning that he probably wasn't going to make the team anyway.
During halftime? He really is "passionate" about poker.
haha, one of my favourite players in the league today. I don't get the octopus thing though, sounds too far fetched hmm.. but hey, it's Gilbert Arenas.
