REPORT: NBA’s Gilbert Pulled Gun On Teamate In Locker Room Argument

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.

Citing an anonymous source, the newspaper reports in Friday’s edition that the standoff was sparked when Crittenton became angry at Arenas for refusing to make good on a gambling debt. That prompted Arenas to draw on Crittenton, who then also grabbed for a gun, league security sources tell the Post.

Asked by the Post about the confrontation, Arenas denied pulling a gun on Crittenton.

“This is unprecedented in the history of sports,” Billy Hunter, executive director of the Player’s Association, tells the Post. “I’ve never heard of players pulling guns on each other in a locker room.”

The Wizards said on the night of Dec. 24 that Arenas had stored unloaded firearms in a container in his locker at the arena and that the NBA was looking into the situation. On Tuesday, Washington, D.C. police said they were investigating a report that weapons were found inside a locker room at the Verizon Center.

Now, the federal government is also involved. Ben Friedman, a spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office in DC, tells the Post “we’re working with the Metropolitan Police Department on the investigation.”

    the major sports leagues provide orientations for rookies and part of it covers the dos and don’ts and the pitfalls and trappings of professional athletes. But ni99as (not blks) take sh it to another level! If it could be done w/o facing lawsuits and protests, i’d require a special “ni99as only” class initially then a mandatory annual refresher! millionares shootin/rollin dice in the locker room?!

    After reading this, I thought of that scene from Menace to Society when the 3 dudes were playin cards in the kitchen and pops shot the one when he wouldn’t pay him his $. Gilbert and Javaris…Straight Up Ni99as!

    How can Arenas deny this when he had a gun in his locker? This sh!t right here is even worse than Plaxico shooting himself in the club.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MARS-BLACKM0N00/ MARS-BLACKM0N00

    WOW, over a gambling debt, just like the mentality of a nigga, would kill over a money, and im pretty sure arenas probably thought he didnt have to pay the guy since he believes he is the star of the team and the other guy is a bench player who would just let it go,

    but this is niggaz acting stupid at their best.

    Nah, money is money. The type of bread they beefing over is some JR Ewing money. If you don’t bet, gamble or whateva, you wouldn’t know. When I bet, I win, I want my money. Otherwise, stuff happens.

    I hate ni**as like this. Kick his ignorant black ghetto ass out of the League. Thugs like him are the reason why black people are looked at as second class citizens. If he wants to act like he’s back in the projects arguing over a 75 dollar dice game, gladly send him on his way.

    it is hella dumb on both they parts but wats gonna happen to GIL is that they gonna somewhat give him the mike vick treatment… they basically waitin on the criminal suit to be filed b4 they can do anything to him basketball related… wats gonna happen is that he will be charged for the weapons and then the wizards gonna be able to cut him WITH CAUSE and not have to pay him.. they still owe gil like $111 million for bout 5 or 6 years still… he’s not producing.. has only played 20 games in the past 2 seasons after signing the new deal… so the wizards are actually hoping that he gets charged to save all that money.. other dude hasnt played all season and really aint got nearly as much loot as gil but they will make an example outta both of them.. better hope they can get back in the league wen this is done
