Gilbert Arenas Says He ‘Lost All Feeling,’ Despite Visual Evidence

It appears Gilbert Arenas' silent, frowning act has turned into simply a frowning act. This is good for all those people who want him to speak his mind like he did during the golden era of Agent Zero, but it's probably bad for many Wizards fans hoping he can just be boring and drama-free.

After saying very little during Wizards media day and draping a towel over his face to prevent fans from seeing him smiling, Arenas continued to act depressed following the team's 97-94 win over the Mavericks. Via Michael Lee of the Washington Post.

“I lost all feeling a long time ago. Basketball is basketball now, no matter what floor I’m on,” Arenas said with a shrug. “It’s just basketball. It’s not rocket scientist. You go out there and you just play.”

He also said his job is to work with John Wall, then eventually "move on," comments that have been overanalyzed everywhere, including on Bullets Forever. But forget those for a second. If Gilbert Arenas truly has no feeling, how do you explain this image below the jump?

Jazz hands AND a smile for a preseason game? You sir, Gilbert Arenas, clearly can still feel things.
