The enigmatic NBA point guard and former blogger extraordinaire finally signed up for Twitter, but he says he won't post anything on the social networking site until he has 1 million followers.

Could be quite some time: Arenas' feed had fewer than 1,700 followers as of Wednesday night.

"Once I get a million followers, I'll do it," Arenas said after his Washington Wizards beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-91 Wednesday.

Asked why he picked that number, he said because it's "so far-fetched."

When someone pointed out to Arenas that the way people tend to accrue followers is by tweeting, he replied: "I'm trying to do the opposite."
