    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">WASHINGTON -- When Washington Wizards coach Eddie Jordan first approached Gilbert Arenas about being a team captain, Arenas was reluctant.

    "I just don't like the name 'captain.' Ever since I was little," Arenas said. "I guess I'm a doer. I just do me. I don't like to tell anybody else what to do."

    Furthermore, Arenas remembered that last season's captains -- Larry Hughes, Antawn Jamison and Etan Thomas -- appeared to be jinxed. </div>

    I love this kid. He's so humble and is focused on doing what he does. Some people may see this as being a bad leader, but in no way do I see that. I think he's just concerned about getting his job done and he trusts his teammates to get their job done.

    Another thing is, he says he's still learning and he didn't know if he was ready for it because of that. Arenas, you're in for one helluva future [​IMG]
