Gilbert Arenas, who can never seem to find any ways to get attention from the media, found himself in a new one: He faked a knee injury before a preseason game, claiming he did it so backup Nick Young could play more.

TBD's Samuel Chamberlain likened it to Allen Iverson's famous rant about practice (not a game, not a game), arguing that you can wake him up when it happens during the regular season. But Coach Flip Saunders was less amused, fining Arenas an undisclosed amount.

Arenas' biggest mistake may have been opening his yapper. If he hadn't willingly revealed his plan to The Washington Post's Michael Lee, he likely would have avoided the whole episode. And generally speaking, lying to your boss probably isn't a good idea, no matter where you work.

So the question is: Do you consider this something that brings you any actual alarm? Or do you just shake your head and move on?
