NBA Players Reportedly Drew Guns in Christmas Eve Argument

Friday , January 01, 2010

An NBA all-star and his Washington Wizards teammate reportedly drew guns on each other in the team's locker room during a Christmas Eve fight over a gambling debt, the New York Post reports.

Gilbert Arenas, 27, went for his gun first, the Post reported, citing unnamed inside sources. His teammate Javaris Crittenton, 22, allegedly brandished a firearm as well.

It was unclear whether other teammates saw the standoff inside the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., the Post reported.

The Wizards announced on Christmas Day that Arenas had admitted to bringing guns to the locker room and had turned them over to team security. The NBA club's statement didn't disclose how Wizards officials discovered that Arenas was storing weapons on the job.

"It's in the hands of [Washington] authorities," Wizards General Manager Ernie Grunfeld told the Post, declining to go into details. "We're going to get to the bottom of this, if there is a bottom to this."

Washington police said they were investigating Arenas for gun-possession violations.

At least Pete Rose was never packing.

Didn't Arenas turn in his guns a few weeks ago because he said he didn't need them?

That's better than a return to those nut-hugging shorts that they used to wear.

So the NBA has gambling ref's. Players like Barkley and Antoine Walker who have lost fortunes in casinos. Now guys are gambling with each other. Fuck the steroids this is way worse. An NBA game might be the easiest to fix too

Those uniforms are better than the god-awful ones they have now (style not length).

According to witnesses in the locker room, Javaris Crittenden actually loaded and cocked his gun during his confrontation with Gilbert Arenas.

Arenas has acknowledged bringing his handguns to the arena and displaying them in the locker room that morning in what he maintained was a playful gesture aimed at his teammate. According to two first-hand accounts of the confrontation, Crittenton responded to Arenas's action -- which included laying the four unloaded weapons in Crittenton's cubicle with a note that read, "Pick One" -- by brandishing his own firearm, loading the gun and chambering a round.


Four guns? I bet even Anthony would think having 4 guns with you at work might be a little excessive.
