Arenas’ financial situation became so dire he had to sleep at the Warriors’ arena because he couldn’t afford the gas to drive back-and-forth, far from the glamorous NBA lifestyle he expected. “You’ve been playing and training your whole life to be here, and when you get here it’s a rude awakening,” Arenas said. “You’re not even close to what is expected. You’re not good enough. You’re on a two-year deal, I have no money. It wasn’t fun. I even said then, ‘I wish I could come back to college. I took a pay cut coming here.’”
