“If you take away the last few years, from my last year in Washington, and you think about my career, there was nothing but hard work. I was in the gym three or four times a day, working on my skills. If we lost a game, and I thought I played bad, I'm staying in the gym to keep shooting. That's what I did. That's what I was known for: I was a gym rat.” IfsThinkingYearsHardLastsThreeGamesLostKnownCareersFourHard WorkSkillsShootingStayingGymLast YearRatsGym Rats Author:Gilbert Arenas
