In a recent column by Mike Wise of the Washington Post he reveals that not everything might be A-OK between Arenas and Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan:
Unbeknownst to many, Gilbert Arenas had a lot of anger stored up against Jordan, whom he felt contributed mightily to his knee injury last season by not starting Arenas in the game in which he was hurt. The more he confided in people about his resentment, it sounded like the recipe for a season gone awry.
But it appeared after a rigorous summer of rehab, Gilbert had cooled down some.
“I was mad about that for a good two or three months,” he said. “But I had the summer to think about it and now I realize stuff happens. If you asked me three months ago, then I’d have said, ‘Yeah.’ But naw, it’s bigger than that.”
Pradamaster of Bullets Forever isn’t sold that all is well between the two:
Reading between the lines, it seems like Gilbert is saying, essentially, that Eddie Jordan is “good enough” for him. He’s willing to forgive and give this thing another try, but mostly because there isn’t a better option out there.
Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time that Gilbert has blamed coaches for something.
