Arenas's childhood was not stable, his mother was sent to the police station because of his foolishness with fox friends, the relevant departments planned to send Arenas to a nursing home, Arenas' father heard the news, decided to raise the two-year-old Arenas himself, so that Arenas would not repeat his mistakes, but also lack of fatherly love. Following his father, Arenas lived an unstable life, which also made Arenas's personality unstable, very well-behaved, sometimes like a child, boyish, and the performance on the court was to give you a sudden shot from outside the three-point line from time to time to show off his shooting skills.
Arenas has done a lot of crazy things, such as painting his teammates' cars, stuffing his teammates' cars with popcorn, cutting off the toes of his teammates, these crazy things are not things when Arenas scenery, but after he fell, it became negative news, and the obedience of personality brought a lot of trouble to Arenas, and it can even be said that Arenas lost to his own character, but then again, if it were not for Arenas' personality, we would not have seen a Linus who celebrated when the ball was not in.
Arenas did well in high school and college, but on draft night, Arenas was selected by the Warriors with the second pick in the second round, a result that exceeded Arenas' expectations, and he did not expect his pick to be so low. In Arenas' words, his starting point in the NBA "is a meter from the three-point line, and there won't be a place where any defenders will come and see me." God did not give Arenas the care to let him grow up in a good environment, as he did 20 years ago, his mother left him, and he could not decide whether to go to the nursing home or to find his father, the only fortunate thing was that Arenas could already decide what he was doing, and the persistence in his character was unwilling to obey and let Arenas embark on his own counterattack journey.
The starting point is low, and if you want to make a name for yourself, you need to fight by yourself, so Arenas began his own crazy training, he started at 5 o'clock, and then went to the training hall to shoot 5,000 times, the Warriors' sharpshooter Mullin became a good mentor and friend of Arenas during that time, Arenas' training volume was extremely large, the results were also obvious, his strength became extremely strong, he could shoot strongly anywhere, the shot was fast, the speed under his feet was also very fast, he could take a step when he encountered slow, he could meet fast, and he could rely on strength to open. With this ability, beating the defense is not difficult for Arenas.
After practicing extraordinary ability through training, Arenas became a crazy singles player, he was like a gun barrel has been red Gatlin, every night is suddenly output, ultra-far three points, high difficult jump shots continue to appear, the score is increasing, when Arenas feels hot, no one can stop him, on the hottest night, Arenas and Kobe Pair, 32 shots 17, 32 shots 5 of 12, free throws 27 shots 21, cut the career-high single game 60 points, pressure Kobe Bryant 45 points, The Wizards took victory away at Staples.
Arenas is a typical crazy scorer who "can't limit, can only count on his bad hand", which makes Arenas' game very interesting, tough and unreasonable goals are always gripping, but the problem is that when the feel is not good, Arenas is like a black hole, dragging the team into it, can not climb out, and, because of the excellent shooting ability, Arenas's shot choice is not good enough, many times the shot is unreasonable, which makes Arenas inefficient, not a smart and efficient scorer. Arenas began his NBA career as a second-round show, "with full of anger" Arenas began his counterattack, he quickly climbed to the top, but quickly came down, came and went in a hurry, leaving the fans to stay where they were overwhelmed.

In the 01 draft, the Warriors used the second round of the second sign to select Arenas, after wearing a cheap suit on the bench for a little half a season, Arenas began to enter the team rotation, playing the starting, the Warriors used Arenas is not suddenly found that Arenas is a potential player, but Arenas in training too good, do not use it, Arenas with their own efforts, for themselves to win the opportunity to play. In 47 games, Arenas averaged 10.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, which was very good, and in the 02-03 season, the Warriors directly put Arenas in the starting lineup and gave Arenas the opportunity to play.
This is exactly what Arenas wants, on the field, Arenas began to show his crazy scorer charm, for the Wizards, Arenas shot 15 of 23, cut 41 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, helped the team to win, this is the first 40+ in Arenas NBA career, in the next few years, Arenas single game 40+ is not a rare thing, but at this time, it still caused a lot of waves, people began to notice this new star.

In the summer of 2003, the Wizards took a fancy to Arenas and showed him a contract with a starting salary of $8.5 million, and the Warriors did not want to let Arenas go in vain, but because of the rule problem, the Warriors could not match the contract, and finally watched Arenas leave, in order to avoid this situation again, the NBA added a Arenas clause. After coming to the Wizards, the story of Arenas and the Wizards officially began, Arenas sprinted with all his strength, towards his peak, the Wizards career debut, Arenas contributed 18 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, and then it was a continuous 20+, facing the Magic, Arenas cut 40 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, after coming to the Wizards, Arenas is still full of vitality, and the points are still easy.

This is Arenas' first playoff, tension is unavoidable, Arenas' performance in the first game of the series is not good enough, 19 shots 3, contributed 9 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds and 1 steal, Arenas encountered setbacks, but he quickly adjusted, in the second game cut 25 shots 14, cut 39 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, justified himself, the third game, Arenas cut 32 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and finally helped the team win the game, rewriting the big score to 2-1, In the next three games, Arenas' performance was not as abnormal as the first, and the performance was good, helping the Wizards to play three consecutive games to complete a 0-2 reversal and advance to the next round. In the second round, the Wizards faced Wade's Heat, the gap between the two sides was obvious, and Arenas, under heavy pressure, did not perform well, the offensive efficiency was low, and the Wizards were eliminated by the Heat after four games.
Arenas played in the playoffs for the first time, and although the start was not good, he quickly adjusted and handed over a good performance, leading the Wizards to the second round, although not perfect, but also good.

In the 07-08 season, Arenas missed 66 games because of a knee injury, the focus is not on how many games are missed, but on the knee injury, Arenas relies on the knee whether it is a strong shot or a hard protrusion, and the knee injury cannot give Arenas as strong support as before, and Arenas is bound to be affected.

Magic originally wanted Arenas to become Howard's assistant, but at this time Arenas did not have this strength, averaging 8 points per game in 49 games, the Magic saw this to be crisp and clean, directly dumped Arenas, 11-12 season, Arenas played 17 games for the Grizzlies, after the end of the season, no team was willing to open a contract for Arenas, Arenas' NBA career was over.
Arenas from the second round show to the All-Star spent 3 seasons, this speed is not slow, many lotto shows may not be able to do, and at the peak, Arenas' average score per game in the league's top five, enough to say that he is the league's first-tier star, but unfortunately, Arenas' injury came too fiercely, directly knocked Arenas down, so that Arenas' glory for several years was shortened to only two seasons, and the honor received was only 3 All-Stars, 2 best team three teams, 1 best team second team, if there is no injury, Maybe we'll see more early celebrations.
