NEW YORK -- Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton drew guns on each other during a Christmas Eve locker room argument over a gambling debt, according to The New York Post.

All I can so is shake my head. This team makes me sad sometimes

 

[Dez]

Great, my favorite player is a thug.

 

[SHOGUN]

It's been a dark period for Hibachi. :smh:

 

[Nash]

:guns:

 

[Point Blank]

:smh:

Not a good look for Washington.

 

[Vinsane]

In a house, in a car, these things I can understand. These guys have seedy backgrounds, grew up in rough places. They'd like to protect themselves. This is Washington D.C. after all. In a locker room? Come on, whoever is running security at the Verizon Center should be fired immediately. And why the hell are there weapons in a locker room of all places? Someone going to steal some shoes, a jersey, your jewelery during halftime?

I think Point Blank used to work security there.

Arenas aint paying his gambling debts with that contract and Crit's financial situation fully being known? Crit was in the right on this one. Gil is a cheap bastard.

 

[EmpireWF]

If this is true, if I'm the Wizards, I get rid of both their dumb asses.

 

[Mogriffjr]

this was brought up before, about how he had guns inside the arena...now this comes out...

 

[Bear Pand]

If I was the Wiz I'd try to get Arenas arrested, then maybe they can back out of that contract they gave him.

HIBACHI

Can't wait for throwback jersey night

I think they might be suspended the rest of the year or even get kicked out of the league for this.

Arenas is legit, why is he wasting his time screwin around with a scrub like Crittenton?

Because Arenas is a fucking idiot. He can shoot the rock, but other than that the guy is as dumb as a box of rocks.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they got kicked from the league. This is not good for image and was incredibly stupid and dangerous for all parties involved.

A number of NBA sources believe that commissioner David Stern is going to issue stiff penalties to Washington guards Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton.

The league is investigating whether Arenas had accessed any of his unloaded firearms while engaged in the dispute prior to a team practice at the Verizon Center on Dec. 21.

The District of Columbia has stringent gun laws that prohibit the carrying of weapons, openly or concealed.

Both players could be subject to penalties and fines.

According to Gilbert Arenas' father, Gilbert told him there was no heavy dispute and no guns were actually pulled with bad intentions. It was all a joke that got blown out of proportion (this atleast is what I read from ESPN earlier).



Personally, I've never been a fan of Gilbert and his $111 million contract. Wizards are lucky if the pussy plays 40 games in a season. Why you would sign a 5 year $111 million contract with somebody in the middle of serious career threatening knee injuries is way beyond me. Javaris Crittenton was a future kid who never saw much playing time, don't really care what happens to him either way.


District of Columbia does have the strictest gun laws in the United States. Illegal firearms are punishable with jail time, IIRC. Not to mention, Carry Conceal Weapon licenses are not legal in public places which have a maximum occupancy of 200 or more people or around that number so even if he had a license, it was illegal for him to have the gun.

Looks like we're gonna be seeing a lot more of Nick Young and Randy Foye

 

[dave]

My co-worker and I threatened each other at work with guns when he didn't pay off a gambling debt.

That does sound ridiculous.

 

[FirstTimer]

Was Wildcard there? Maybe they owed him money?

As much as a guy like Jason Whitlock gets hammered on for pointing out the stupid thug life shit in the NBA and how it turns some fans away from the game he is right. Stories like this are fucking retarded. Yeah, pulling guns is a great joke!
