Gilbert Arenas says that the Washington Wizards had no choice but to pay him after putting up 41 points on Michael Jordan & the Wiz in 2003 for the Golden State Warriors.
(via Gil’s Arena):
Josiah Johnson: “How many times did you play against MJ in your career?”
Arenas: “MJ, maybe three.”
Josiah Johnson: “What was that experience like for you?”
Arenas: “I gave that f***er 41. I think me and Antawn [Jamison] still hold the record for a duo to score the most points against the Wizards. I did 41, he had 39 (actually was 37). Larry [Hughes] was there. That’s what got me paid, they seen what I did to MJ.”
