Saturday night, the Orlando Magic were in town to play the Timberwolves. Before the game, I was by the Graves Hotel, which is located directly across the street from the Target Center. I saw Gilbert Arenas board one of the team buses and head to the arena. It's interesting that teams in the winter take a bus to the Target Center, when their hotel is just a few feet away. Back in November, the Lakers, including Kobe Bryant, walked to the arena, when they stayed at the Graves. In November, it was a little cold, about 30 degrees, but not as cold as the 12 degrees it was on Saturday. Myself, along with other fans walked over to the loading dock trying to get his autograph. As Arenas came off the bus, all the fans asked him for his autograph and he didn't hesitate, as this ifollosports.com original video shows him signing for everyone. He was not wearing a jacket and did not appear to be bothered by the 12 degree weather. A team from Florida must really appreciate not having to walk even a block in the Minnesota cold.
