You can take the goofball (as he has called himself) out of a particular city, but you can’t take the goofball out of the guy. Or something like that. Although he relocated from the nation’s capital to central Florida, Gilbert still appears to be the same fun-loving guy. He was fined by the League for an undisclosed tweet. At least it wasn’t for guns this time.
The NBA has fined Gilbert Arenas for comments made on his Twitter account, NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday.
The league did not specify how much the fine was for or which specific comments violated league rules.
When informed of the fine, the Magic point guard took to – you guessed it – Twitter to express his frustration: “yesthe nba has fined me….for being to awesome..so i can give you the shoes for FREE but gotta charge you for the jokes… i cant believe i got fined..how do i explain this to the lady at the bank…this is gonna take another 40mins… or i could just write a check and if theres a lockout just cancel the check it and maybe they will forget…..i think that will work..”
Arenas, who’s never been one to take himself seriously, continued to make light of the situation in his next Twitter messages: “its okay it all evens it self out..i get fined from the nba……..im stealing cable from my neighbors..so bam bam jackpot…hahaha”.
