More weirdness (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15112600/) from the professor of Gilbertology:
“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.
“I had to put a tent in one room, and then they are going to come during training camp and fix the whole house,” Arenas said. “Then I have a portable tent I’m taking on the road.”
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.
