Arenas fully healed, including his mouth!

There was no brace, there was no hitch in his step. But what there was during a rehab workout with reporters were a lot of words from Gilbert Arenas--not to many's surprise.

"I've got to prove myself coming back from this injury. I've got to prove myself that I'm an MVP candidate in this league and I'm one of the best point guards in this league," Arenas said Friday. "If I have to go out there and score 70 or 80, it's going to happen," he added, "but I don't shoot for those goals. Goals of mine are always about winning."

Yeah. If you pull this one it plays jingle bells for you.

Although I do remember that he finished third in the NBA with a 28.4-point scoring average, hit shot after shot in the closing seconds of periods and put up three 50-point games in a 30-day span last season. After playing over the summer, Arenas said he got his confidence back. He says his left knee feels "normal" and he won't have any restraints. It will be interesting to see if the Wizards feel the same and give him extra rest--one thing is for sure, we'll certainly hear about it....
