When you’re not busy listening to the newest Basketball Jones podcast, head over to Michael Wilbon’s column to get the lowdown on the crazy Miami nights and the scoop on this whole Arenas arrest from the man himself.

The man, in this case, being Gilbert, not Wilbon. That’s Gilbert Arenas, not Dan Gilbert, who is also the man. Just not in this particular situation - he wasn’t even there.

“I still don’t understand what for. I was in a limousine, stuck in really bad traffic going to this restaurant, Ago, when I decided to step out of the car. The limo driver said, ‘The guy who just got out is being arrested.’ I looked over and saw seven police officers arresting Storey. . . . I didn’t have the chance to say anything; an officer put cuffs on me from behind. . . . When I was taken in, I said, ‘I don’t mean to be rude, but can I talk to the officer who arrested me?’ And the officer says, ‘You were being nosy.’ And I said, ‘Are you putting that in your official police report, that I was being nosy?’ And then he keeps asking me questions:

” ‘Do you have tattoos?’ I said, ‘Yes, I have three.’ And then, ‘What is your street name?’ I laughed. Of course I laughed. My street name? What? Okay, it’s Zero Hero. [Arenas wears “0″ on his Wizards jersey.]

” ‘And he says, ‘Oh, everything is funny to you, huh?’ “

The thing is, it sounds like Gilbert does think it’s funny, which is why we love the dude. It’d be so easy and justified to scream “racism” or “limosinism” or “bad checks”, but he just is all okay with it - no biggie.

He also added that he never said the whole “do you know who I am?” thing.

The only thing we can really hold against Gil here is that he was apparently going to see X-Men 3 for the second time. How can someone see this twice? Despite making like a lot of badilliam dollars over the weekend, it’s still not the type of average movie we’ll even watch once.

If you’re wondering why we can say that without seeing it (Twice, no less!), it’s because we have a blog and you don’t. Unless you do have one, which we think many of you do. If that’s the case, just ignore the latter half of this post and focus on the first part.

Neither part is particularly good, which is a shame.
