Gilbert Arenas - Image 1The Washington Times isn't generally known as a source of video game rumors (this blogger could be wrong, though) but we came across this little nugget on the online version of the newspaper:

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has appeared on several magazines this season, but soon he'll appear on a completely different type of cover. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Arenas will appear on the cover of EA Sports' NBA Live.


Arenas is currently out for the rest of the season due to a torn meniscus he got earlier this month. An avid video game player, Arenas often goes online for some multiplayer gaming action and has his own Halo team.

You'll also remember that he was one of the people who stood in line for the PS3 launch but didn't manage to get one. At the time, Arenas blogged that he should've told the people he was LeBron James, so then he would have gotten one. Well, if this rumor turns out to be true, he'd have one over LeBron as the Times also reports that Arenas was chosen over the Cavs forward for the NBA Live 08 cover gig.
