Michael Wilbon: It’s time for a new beginning for Arenas and the Wizards

This is the activity we engage in most frequently when it comes to professional basketball around here: looking back and trying to figure out how and why something went so horribly wrong. John Williams’s eating, Chris Webber’s underachieving, Gheorghe Muresan’s aching back, Juwan Howard’s contract, the trade of Rip Hamilton, drafting Kwame Brown, the firing of Michael Jordan and now Gilbert Arenas’s felony plea bargain. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
