NBA Occasionally Censors Gilbert's Blog

No NBA player uses less discretion on his blog than Gilbert Arenas -- Agent Zero sounds off on anything and everything on his official NBA.com blog, ripping fellow players for rejecting big contracts, ripping fellow players for not making their teammates better, talking about suicidal thoughts stemming from his struggle with injury. He's a very honest fellow, and the NBA has been lauded by fans for its rather open policy with regard to Gil.

But not everything is fair game. In a brief interview with the Sacramento Bee, Arenas says the NBA has censored him a few times, and that the league "filters" the entries before they go live.
I did a steroids one, about, "How can you not think (Roger) Clemens is on steroids?" And, "He looks like an Escalade truck." They took that out. They took a Michael Vick thing out. But other than that, whatever goes on, they've already filtered through it.
If the league filters Gil and still lets him get away with some of the stuff he blogs, they deserve more respect than we already give them. They get it.
