Brown: "I wanted to slap Arenas" <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Brown said that during Game 3 of the Bulls series, Arenas told Coach Eddie Jordan not to insert Brown into the game, and that Jordan complied. Brown said Jordan's decision angered him so much that he wanted to physically harm Arenas the next day at practice. In order to contain his rage, Brown said, he decided not to come to practice for fear of what he would have done to Arenas. "The thing is, the whole thing stems from Gilbert telling them not to put me in the game. I didn't come to practice because I was going to be a distraction. I was going to slap the [expletive] out of him," Brown said. "I'll admit it, what I did was wrong -- not showing up was wrong -- but I ain't saying what I would've done if I showed up would've been right. Being that I didn't show up I didn't put my hands on nobody. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would go to a coach and tell him don't put me in a game, I would've done something seriously wrong to him." Told of Brown's accusations, Arenas denied his former teammate's version of events. "That's the coach's decision. I'm not the coach. I'm not the GM," Arenas said. "If he feels I have that much pull that I could pull him in and out of the game, then I guess he would blame me. If that's his excuse for missing practices -- to blame me -- then I'm strong enough to take the responsibility. But I never told Coach to put him out the game."</div> Source
Interesting, I'm not sure what to say about this, but Kwame and Arenas did have their bad encounters in 03-04 too, so who knows. Reading the rest of the article, Kwame is just being an idiot. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"You see my house. It's bigger than the house I had in Washington," he said. "You see my team. It's better than the Wizards. This is the best organization in the league."</div> What is the relevance of this? Kwame is just talking right now, it doesn't seem like he even heard Arenas telling EJ bench him himself. Kwame really has problems in his head, what is this? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Brown said he believes his problems with Arenas were rooted in a situation that had been brewing throughout the season. Brown, who was entering free agency in the summer, said he considered firing his agent, Arn Tellem, and had conversations with Dan Fegan, who represents Arenas. When he elected to remain with Tellem, Brown said Fegan later told Arenas to stop passing Brown the ball so that his statistics wouldn't look good entering the free agent market</div> I was really hoping for him to do good this season, but now I just don't care, he's just being an idiot.
Both Gil and Eddie Jordan denied what Kwame accused Arenas of doing. I highly doubt to grown men would lie like that.
Wow man,Kwame has had some real problems since he has come into the league,maybe he will fix them in LA and not be such a bust in LA.
