    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> WASHINGTON (AP) -- Take a deep breath, and get ready for the latest in Gilbertology: Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas is thinning the air in his house.

    "I had my house converted to the Colorado altitude, so I am always above sea level," Arenas said Monday at the Wizards annual pre-training camp media day.

    Say what? He's going to live at high altitude in the nation's capital?

    "You know, that's kind of weird," Arenas said.

    He'll get plenty of nods with that statement, but, yep, he's really doing it. Instead of going to the mountains to train -- as some endurance athletes do -- Arenas has hired a company to simulate those conditions in a home environment.</div>

    This is why I love this guy. He'll do anything to try and get better. I wonder if this will work. He's already conditioned well, this should help him even more.

    Like BlackMamba said, I like this guy because he'll do pretty much anything to become the best he can be. This is a very cool idea, and I honestly think this will help him a lot through the season.
