The Washington Wizards offered the max allowed to Gilbert Arenas after Arenas opted out his contract for free agency. Gilbert Arenas turned right around and passed on the potential $127 million contract for $111 million so that the team could still sign key pieces to build a championship team. "What can I do for my family with $127 million that I can't do with $111 million?" he told The Washington Post.$111 million is still a preposterous amount of cash, but it's still nice to see when there are NBA athletes like Latrell Sprewell (currently not on a team) have the audacity to turn down $21 million from the Timberwolves and say: "Why would I want to help them win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed."
Congratulations Gilbert Arenas for understanding what sports is about and doing what is best for the team. Gilbert truly has fun while playing and gives a lot back to the community. Visit his blog on NBA.com and his website to learn more.
