The 09-10 NBA season is finally upon us. Gilbertology wishes Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards a good and more importantly, healthy season!

Gilbert Arenas doesn’t seem to want to talk to the media but is forced to or face fines from the NBA. On Friday, Arenas tried to explain why he would rather focus on basketball rather than anything off the court. Some quotes:

“The fans, I just think they just want to see me play again. I think they can live without me rambling on about stupid stuff in my life”

“The blog was entertainment. I never actually gave you guys good quotes. You just took it off my blog and went from there.”

“The happy medium is you guys stop asking me questions, so I don’t have to get fined. But you guys are not, so this is what you’re going to get all year.”

“If it’s right, then okay. If it’s not, then yeah of course it hurts. I just call you guys [reporters] lazy, that’s all. Instead of doing research and finding out the truth, you just write what you hear. That’s the difference. I work out six hours a day on my craft. You guys hear something and write it instead of finding out the truth. Laziness. Last two years.”
