I saw this funny article today about NBA basketball star Gilbert Arenas. Supposedly, he likes to play poker online.

He loves the competition so much that he’s been known to play poker during halftime of the Washington Wizards games.

Arenas just sits at his locker and plays while everyone else on his team gets ready for the second half.

Arenas said he likes to play at halftime because, “It's just a mental challenge, to keep my mind going.''

Arenas is big on playing video games too and he’s also a pretty good pool player and bowler. His high score in bowling is 277.

He even confessed to staying up really late at night to play poker and video games online. He doesn't do that anymore. He joked that he replaced that habit with watching movies.

I guess he has to get his poker fix somehow, so why not play it at halftime especially when you’re as good as he is on the basketball court.

Many thanks to AlCan'tHang for sending me this link.
