Sure, he’s got a $65 million contract and is an All-Star point guard for the Washington Wizards, but strangely enough… I feel like I can relate to Gilbert Arenas.

From the recent story in The Washington Post…
….
I ask Gilbert how it is that the public extrovert — the same guy who rips his jersey from his torso after each game and tosses it into the stands — can be such a private introvert. He says that he likes giving of himself to people. “I want that love” they give back, he says.
When I asked if he retreats when people get too close, he says, biting his lip — in a way that a young boy who is afraid to admit he likes a girl might — “Um, yes.”
…
That’s why I link to his NBA blog from my blog.
