While some believe that Wizards coach Eddie Jordan has not been able to improve the team defensively, the Washington Times is reporting that star guard Gilbert Arenas has thrown his support completely behind Jordan.

"I wouldn't be where I'm at if it weren't for Eddie. He believed in me," said Arenas. "When I was a free agent he called and told me that he wanted me to be his point guard when he started his team. We bumped heads our first season, but that was two guys trying to get to know each other. But since then to now it's a totally different relationship, and I don't want to see him go. I'll even say if he's not here I don't want to be here. I'll even go that far. That's how badly I want him here."

Jordan's future will be discussed during the offseason.
