Other Reasons Gilbert Arenas Faked an Injury
Gilbert Arenas pretended he was hurt Tuesday. He told reporters he did it to get young buck Nick Young a rare start and some extended shine in the preseason. But you should know better than to take Gil at face value at this point. Plus, he's a complicated dude, and surely considered a multitude of angles before taking the plunge. After having studied Gil for years, we believe we have deciphered the other 10 reasons he faked an injury.
o. To allow John Wall to rule. Tuesday was the Wizards' first preseason game in the Verizon Center, which means it was John Wall's first game in the Verizon Center as a Wizard. That's huge, and something fans should always be able to cherish. Agent Zero never knows when he will go Hibachi, and once it's happened, he can't turn it off. Better to be safe than sorry; better to remove all possibility Gil's long shadow would block everyone's view of the golden calf. (Of course, Arenas ended up overshadowing Wall by becoming an off-the-court story. Oh well.) When you consider the motive regarding Young and this suggested one regarding Wall, this becomes the most altruistic lie in NBA history. Flip Saunders should be giving Gil a bonus, not issuing him a fine.
