"I don’t feel like speaking anymore. I just want to go out there and play,” he said that day. “If I’m not going to get fined, I don’t think you’re going to hear me again. I don’t have a blog. I don’t have a tweeter. When I was entertaining, all you guys focused on was my words. Now I’d rather you just focus on my basketball.”

Double standard. How come LeBron gets to snub media and players after huge game with no penalty but Arenas gets punished for missing media day?

maybe you should do some research before you speak?

a big reason why ballers get such big paychecks are beacause of media companies. fines are def justified.

I see. I seem to remember some article saying they were leaning toward no action. Thanks for correcting my mistake.
