Arenas On Kobe: "My Numbers Are Blowing His Out Of The Water"

Gilbert Arenas has been putting up a lot of points this season and feels that his numbers compare well to Kobe Bryant's.

"I'm glad what I'm doing is on national television so they can finally see what I did in the past; my 29 [points per game last season] is not a fluke. What I did in the playoffs is not a fluke. What I've done the last five years is not a fluke," Arenas said. "Everybody says, 'Oh, he's not better than this person, he's not better than that person.' But if you go year by year, number-wise, what's the difference between me and Kobe? He had Shaq. He got three rings. Other than that, my numbers are blowing his out of the water the first six years in the league.

It took a blizzard to finally stop the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns remained snowbound in a downtown Denver hotel Thursday, practicing at the nearby Pepsi Center and getting into a snowball fight to pass the time.

The Denver airport was closed Thursday and wasn't expected to reopen until about noon Friday. A chartered plane was being sent to Denver and the team planned to leave sometime in the afternoon.

The Suns will play the Wizards in Phoenix on Friday night. The game is a late start, 8:30 p.m. MST, which should allow the team to get home in plenty of time.
