The naked painted ladies, part of the evening's entertainment -- and yes, naked naked, save for a thong and a head-to-toe paint job -- don't have to worry about goosebumps ruining the effect of all that . . . paint.Frankly . . . I'm concerned. The extravaganza seems out of step with Arenas's chipped-shoulder ideology. Also, if he realizes that being young and rich could lead to tons of fun parties, where's he going to find the time to take his dogs on the treadmill. It's a worrying situation. The saving grace is that all these fans seem determined to vote Vince Carter into the All-Star Game, giving Gilbert the snub the Wiz need. If we get really, really lucky somehow the coaches will fail to select him, too. Kidd! Billups! Redd! Can't deny those guys.
