This might be the greatest piece of journalism I've ever read. And it will instantly make Gilbert Arenas your favourite athlete. But it's long. So be forewarned.

That's a killer article...I admire a lot of the qualities and tendencies that he exudes. Especially the training aspects, I love it when professional athletes understand their role and do everything it takes to make themself the best player possible. A lot of the time this quality comes from players who had absolutely shit all in their life that was good and they fought for every little thing they ever got. It's such a rare trait...and from an NBA player to boot. Good on him.
