Gilbert Arenas ended his self-imposed media boycott on Friday and sounds just like the Arenas of old, according to the Associated Press.

"I'm an assassin. I get buckets," the Washington Wizards' guard said Friday "I know I haven't played in a long time, but the shot is still there, so when I come off that bench, there is going to be some trouble."

Explaining his silence Arenas said, "I just didn't want to hear 'How's your knee?' 'How does it feel to be back?' 'Are you going to still opt out?' Same old, same old. Let's worry about the playoffs and wait until we get to the playoffs, and then I'll be back at it."
