Arenas Wants Coach K

Gilbert Arenas is upset at getting cut from the Olympic basketball team. So upset in fact that he wants to go back to college and drop "84 or 85" points on Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski because Coach K was responsible for the slight. Why not 100, Gilbert? Arenas has already taken out his frustrations on the Suns, whose coach is an assistant on the USA team, by scoring 54 against them earlier this year.

I'm not a big NBA fan, but this story is funny. I especially like Arenas saying he would give up an entire NBA season for one game against Duke. I'm guessing Coach K could come up with a good defensive game plan because Arenas says he would never pass the ball, imitating the NBA 2K7 video game. That man has some serious pride if he's willing to forgo his $10 million for an NBA season to play one game against the Dukies.

Coach K was seemingly uneffected by the story as Duke won a dramatic game against Clemson last night.
