Ball Don't Lie —
As mentioned Monday, Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas decided to show his support for President-elect Barack Obama by getting a little ink. Well, thanks to NBC Washington's Dan Hellie (via Gilbertology), we now have photographic evidence. Here it is in all of its up-close, sharp fingernail glory. Not bad, not bad, though Gil really should've started on his pinky and his worked his way in. That mole on his index finger makes a perfect period.

I said if Barack Obama was elected in that I was going to get a tattoo that said "Change We Believe In" and the No. 44. I got it on the insides of my fingers on my left hand, so you can't really see it. Here's a photo of it . Since the tattoo message was all about change, it was a miracle when I went in to get it done. Instead of it hurting, it actually felt good like the needle was giving me a hand massage … I'm lying, it kind of hurt a lot. I got the tattoo done on the Friday after the election down in Orlando because I always get my tattoos done down in Orlando. ...
