Gilbert Arenas talks. Those three words are usually enough to get people to listen. And because the former Wizards guard has stayed quiet since September (shutting down his Twitter feed), Arenas had a lot to tell Sports Illustrated’s Sam Amick in a 90-minute interview that is online.

Arenas is still rehabbing, though he worked out recently for the Lakers. He underwent platelet-rich plasma therapy in January. And he plays often at a YMCA in Orlando, Fla.
