"Orlando Magic guard Gilbert Arenas wants to clarify something.

He said he has created his brand-new Twitter account, @agentzeroshow, to entertain and to make people laugh. Therefore, he explained, people shouldn't take what he tweets seriously.

"It's just supposed to be entertainment," Arenas told the Orlando Sentinel in an interview Thursday. "For example, if Denzel Washington does a movie and he plays a bad guy in a movie, he's entertaining you for those two hours you're paying for him. When he's done, he is not that bad officer anymore. He's back to being Denzel Washington.

"So if you can choose when to like a movie star, why can't you choose when and when not to like a basketball player or an athlete? We are two different people, too. On the basketball court, around my job, I'm one person. Off the court, I'm another person. When I'm in the arena, I'm serious; I'm doing my job. Out of the arena, I'm a goofy person.""
