The other day I was at Verizon Center for a Mystics related meeting. As I went to my car in the parking lot, I saw Gilbert Arenas. We talked for a few moments.

I said, “Hi Gil. You lost some weight? Tell me your secret ’cause you look great.”

Gil says, “What do I look like? What kind of animal?”

I say, ”A panther!”

Gil laughs, gives me a pound and says, ”Yes, that is what I am and I am gonna pounce. I am a proud black panther!”Was he ever last night! Kudos to the team for winning its opener on the road against a tough Dallas team. I am very happy for the Pollin family and for Abe. Way to go.
