G - Gilbert Arenas
J - What you have seen in Gilbert , mr. Paul.
P - Well he's hell of an athlete.He can shoot , run , pass , think.I hope he'll help for our young point guard which is trying to do too much and we're not able to get right guys around him.
J - Gilbert , back in 2010-11 season you in Washington have averaged almost 18 points per game , but then you got traded to Orlando.What was your reaction to that trade?
G - First of all , hello everybody.I'm glad i'm back to D.C. and nowhere else.Well then my contract was huge and the team thought that i gonna get injured quickly than you blink , but it didin't happened and my minutes in Orlando was really limited so i couldn't do what i do best.
J - Thank you for interview.
