Gilbert Arenas and His Guns story

Arenas was one of the best nba players during the 2005-2006 season avereging almost 30 PPG and some people say that this story cost Gilberts' career...

They were some rumors saying that arenas had a fight with one of his teammates some people at the time went as far to say that guns were involved of course nobody believed those guys but...

Arenas was a guest on Open Run where he discussed the discipline handed down by the league. He was suspended for the remainder of the 2009-10 season but claimed that it wasn’t about the guns — but rather for conduct detrimental to the team. He believed a one-or-three-game suspension would have gone his way if it was only about the guns.

Arenas described the incident with Crittenton as more sarcastic than it was made out to be, claiming he was baiting Crittenton to act on his threats. Arenas’ teammate at the time, Caron Butler, detailed the account differently in a chilling excerpt:

We had the next day off, but on the following day, December 21, practice started at ten o’clock at the Verizon Center so we all wandered in a little earlier.

When I entered the locker room, I thought I had somehow been transported back to my days on the streets of Racine. Gilbert was standing in front of his two locker stalls, the ones previously used by Michael Jordan, with four guns on display. Javaris was standing in front of his own stall, his back to Gilbert.

“Hey, MF, come pick one,” Gilbert told Javaris while pointing to the weapons. “I’m going to shoot your with one of these.”

Arenas went on to call Butler a snitch after that.
