 WASHINGTON (AP) - It was tough enough for DeShawn Stevenson to accept a minimum wage contract to play for the Washington Wizards. What he didn't expect as part of the bargain was second-banana billing to Gilbert Arenas in a hit video on YouTube.
With both of those facts in mind, Stevenson had a good all-around night in the Wizards' first game following the All-Star break. Not only did he score a season-high 23 points in Tuesday's 112-100 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he managed a nice return salvo at Arenas by publicly needling the point guard over his shooting percentage.
"He's 'Hibachi,' but I'm 'Mr. Fifty,'" said Stevenson, who raised his average to 50.1 percent — well ahead of Arenas' 42. "Put that in the newspaper so he'll get mad."
