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.

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.”
