    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is ready to do almost anything to make the U.S. national team, starting with mastering the shorter 3-point shot.

    "I've been working out on the international 3, it's like a free throw now," Arenas said Tuesday at an open workout before leaving for next week's training camp.

    Arenas and 22 other invitees will train at the camp run by U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski in Las Vegas from July 19-25. Those who make the final roster will play in this year's world championship in Japan.</div>

    Same as college, pretty much like a step inside the NBA 3pt line.

    It makes you wonder why some guys who shot better from 3 in the NBA shot worse from International three last time around.

    Imagine if Vince Carter played on the National Team, he would be shooting three pointers like 5 feet away from the international three point line

    Arenas has to be considered for the team, he will only help them more and more.

    Yeah, Arenas deserves to play for the U.S. His 3-point shot looks as if he'll lead the NBA in points next season.
