So earlier today, Gilbert Arenas, the oft-injured superstar of the Washington Wizards said that his Wiz being in last place was a good thing. The reeling Wizards are 1-8, their worst start in a decade, are struggling in every aspect of the game and can't seem to do much of anything right. I'm sorry Gilbert, but isn't winning the whole point. The great Vince Lombardi once said "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing," but apparently, Gilbert has yet to get that message. He was quoted as saying, "but if this is one of those years where we don't make the playoffs or we finish in last place ... that's what happened to San Antonio and that's how they got Tim Duncan and look at them now ... and that's for the better." Yea, the Spurs got Tim Duncan, but Duncan is a once-in-a-generation talent, and it doesn't look like next years NBA draft has any Duncan-caliber, franchise players. Agent Zero better hope that the Wizards have turned things around by the time he return to the team January 1, because if Washington keep sputtering, this will be a very long season for the Wizards faithful. I have to believe that they will turn it around sooner rather than later, as they do have two all-stars on their roster in Caron Bulter and Antawn Jamison, but how long they can go without their $111 million man is the real question...one that only time can answer.
