Arenas will do almost anything to make team USA
I wonder if he would send me one of his paychecks if I promised to pull some strings.
Quote:
"I've been working out on the international three - it's like a free throw now," Arenas said Tuesday at an open workout before leaving for next week's training camp. "I'm accustomed to that line, and I know it's hard for NBA players to shoot from that line. We don't practise it. It's either shoot an NBA three or drive into the lane, it seems like there is no in-between, so I've been working on it and I've forgotten about the NBA line."
Arenas and 22 other invitees will train at the camp run by U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski in Las Vegas from July 19-25. Those who make the final roster will play in this year's world championship in Japan.
"I'm excited, a little nervous," said Arenas, who averaged 29.3 points last season and made the all-star game for the second straight year. "It's just like when you see rookies come in and they are trying to make a squad. That is how I feel going out there."
