Arenas: living in high-altitude conditions, sleeping in tents

Dumars4Ever · Oct 4, 2006

More weirdness 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.

D4E you know since we are local we get much more info on this idiot than we need. I love this quote; someone asked him about the tiger tatoo on his chest and he replied, "I got some of it when I was snubbed on draft day (picked in the second round) and since I continued to get snubbed I added more to the tatoo." He continued, "because I am like a tiger....THE KING OF THE JUNGLE"

I guess in grade school someone forgot to tell him that a Lion is the king of the jungle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
