Regardless of WHY he chose to dispose of his gun it makes no sense to take it to your job or anywhere other than a place that buys or disposes of guns. Why take it to your locker at an arena? Besides, isn't she an infant?

Pure dumbassetry.

What other time have two players pointed guns at each other in a locker room?

SCNDLS said:

I stand corrected, it was the team bus, not the locker room.

The N.B.A. tightened its anti-gun policies as part of its 2005 collective bargaining agreement after the Golden State Warriors’ Chris Mills was accused three years earlier of brandishing a gun on the Portland Trail Blazers’ team bus following an argument with Bonzi Wells. The revamped policy stated said N.B.A. personnel could not transport weapons onto league property, sites or charitable events.

Dumbasses all of 'em

Suspend them both for the rest of the season. Case closed.

uPtoWnNY said:

Agreed.....and Arenas is my boy.

Graycap23 said:

I don't see why these morons can't hire security - Jordan does, Tiger and other celebs do it too. Let the professionals handle that shit. If Plaxico had used his brain, he'd still be playing.

Stern has to drop the hammer on these fools - there's no other way.

SCNDLS said:

I'm sorry this story doesn't add up. Did Gilbert give up his gun(s) before or after the incident? Even so, he could've have sold his weapon(s) or called local law enforcement and asked them how he could dispose of his weapons, legally and safely. These guys were foolish.

Apparently Gilbert placed the gun on a chair and told the guy 2 choose one. The other guy picked up and the gun and tossed it on the floor and walked away. That is a far cry from drawing guns on each other. I guess the truth will come out.

Graycap23 said:

yeah, he has NOTHING to lose by being honest. The NBA will be there waiting when he's released.

Well, Arenas has felt the wrath of David Stern. It also certainly doesn't help when you're dong the good ole Cactus Jack "bang bang" in a pre game circle with your team. Real smart.

After seeing Mr. Arenas press conference this morning, this boy doesn't sound as if he's dealing with a full deck. Mr. Stern needs to suspend this dummy for the rest of the season.

done, and without pay too!

uPtoWnNY said:

How dumb can u get? This is going 2 cost this fool upwards of $7 million dollars.

Graycap23 said:

Basically, he laughed in the commissioner's face by making light of the situation. WTF did he think was going to happen?

uPtoWnNY said:

Brothers keep inventing new ways 2 part with their millions.

Graycap23 said:

That's profound. What an idiot.

The NBA's trying to solve its image problem, so you know Stern's not going to tolerate this shit. Players better wake up.

uPtoWnNY said:

it's not just the players....how much money has the league made promoting
players like alan iverson..?
[Edited 1/6/10 15:35pm]

Suspended Indefinitely ... Arenas is my second favorite player but I can't back him up on his actions last night.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Yeah this is a blackeye for one of the most talented guys in the
league when healthy. I'll never forget him lighting Kobe's ass
up for 51 two years ago.

phunkdaddy said:

You did forget, it was 60 on Kobe. He dropped 51 a while later on Deron Williams.

Fire their asses and ban them from the NBA. If I pulled a gun at my work on another employee I'm sure as hell not getting suspended.

lazycrockett said:

It's been determined that no one pulled a gun on no one, that was just blow up story. The story is basically Arenas bought four unloaded guns to the locker room (as a bad prank gone wrong.)

I you look up to Arenas, everyone knows he's a prankster, he does silly things all the time. Of course, this prank didn't turn out so good, as he;s been suspended indefinitely.

Oh hes just a prankster okay, I'm sure the postal office would buy that excuse also. Shit is insane and beyond stupid.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Cover up . . . . They're trying to keep him out of jail . . . .

SUPRMAN said:

What about the gambling debt? Is that made up too?

SCNDLS said:

No, that, I'm sure is real.
It's illegal to possess firearms in D.C. so they are trying to minimize it to avoid the District bringing charges.
Apparently none of the players are talking so we're left with the cover story.
And what happened to Crittenden's gun . . . ?

Jarvaris had a LOADED gun, but no one talks about him...
