"The bottom line is you can't reinvent the wheel in April," Jordan said. "You stay with your system, but you shift the gears. You shift the focus to what your strength is now. Not Gil, not Caron, but now to Antawn and to Etan."
Arenas had dubbed this season "The Takeover," and for a while he was as good as his word. He dropped 60 on the Los Angeles Lakers, 54 on Phoenix and was named Eastern Conference player of the month for December. He leads the NBA with 35 30-point games.
The combined success of Arenas and the Wizards, along with his flamboyant self-marketing savvy, propelled him into another level of stardom. He made the All-Star game for the third consecutive year, but this was the first time he was voted by the fans as a starter.
Arenas started every game for the Wizards until Wednesday night, when he was benched at the opening tip-off for being late for a shootaround earlier in the day.
Arenas entered late in the first quarter and was injured less than two minutes later, when Charlotte's Gerald Wallace inadvertently crashed into Arenas after an off-balance reverse layup. Arenas' knee bent the wrong way, much like that of a quarterback who has been hit low by a rushing lineman.
"Once he found out the severity of the injury, it kind of shellshocked him a little bit," Jamison said. "It's hard because of the type of year he was having, and the playoffs were coming upon us and we all know Gilbert -- he loves the playoffs and the limelight and things like that."
