All About Gilbert

Gilbert Arenas has been getting a lot more press attention recently, but this profile in The Washington Post was the first time I ever really saw the sad, but also touching, story of his relationship with his parents explained.

UPDATE: It has nothing to do with basketball, but I find this sort of thing -- "Under the alias Alexandra Delphing, Francis [i.e., Gilbert's mom] has a criminal record in the Miami Police Department database dating from 1989, according to a public information officer at the department" -- surprising. You would think that what with all the money we spend on prisons in the United States somebody would try and invest a little time and energy in ascertaining the real names of people who get arrested.
