Gilbert Arenas in Wonderland

Posted 6 days, 7 hours ago

It’s not so much that Gilbert Arenas is in Wonderland as it is he is Wonderland. The jersey thrown into the stands after every game was like a white glove lost by a white rabbit, and we chased after it as if we were going down a rabbit hole, and like most childhood stories about magical…
