Arenas Admits Punishment Was a Must

Suspended Wizards G Gilbert Arenas told Esquire magazine that he wasn’t using “longevity thinking” when taking out four guns in his ‘prank’ with teammate Javaris Crittenton in December. Ya think? He also wanted to apologize to Abe Pollin, who died in November:
“I called Mrs. Pollin and said, ‘If Abe was still with us, I would’ve had to talk to …

Gilbert Arenas met with Commisionner David Stern today face-to-face for the first time since being suspended indefinitely.
Entering the meeting, Arenas had anticipated to be suspended for the remainder of the season, and that was exactly the punishment that he recieved. Stern was quoted as saying, “The issue here is not about the legal ownership and possession of guns, either in one’s home or elsewhere. It is about possession of guns in the NBA workplace, which will not be tolerated.”
He continued, stating, “I have met separately with Mr. Arenas and with …

Javaris Crittenton, the other “gunman” in the Agent 0 comics is set to plead guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge just 10 days after Arenas pled guilty and approximately three weeks after he claimed he didn’t even come in contact with a gun in the locker room.  Today Crittenton was charged with two misdemeanors including possesion of an unregistered firearm and attempted carrying a pistol without a license.  Crittenton’s lawyer said that if he pleads guilty they are likely going to drop the second charge.  He also stated that Crittenton …

NBA commissioner David Stern has suspended Wizards G Gilbert Arenas indefinitely for his poor judgment in bringing guns to the arena. Well, not just that, but also for the report of pulling a gun out on teammate Javaris Crittenton in the locker room. Whether or not that was true (which Arenas says was done as a joke), Arenas is creating an unfortunate image for NBA players and a poor model for children to follow.
I was surprised that Stern didn’t make this decision sooner. I expected Arenas to be suspended indefinitely …

Apparently Gilbert Arenas pulled a gun on teammate Javaris Crittenton after an argument ensued about a gambling dispute.  It was reported that the two made a bet and Arenas didn’t hold his end of the deal and they got in a verbal argument in the locker room.  Last week it was reported that Arenas had unloaded guns at the Verizon Center in DC, in order to get the guns out of his house to protect his daughter and the NBA was further investigating this issue.  From an article on espn.com while …

Cavaliers 95, Hawks 84
In the first game of a home-and-home series, the Cavaliers showed their dominance by beating the Hawks at the Phillips Arena. It was a tight game with the Hawks down one at the start of the final quarter. The Cavs held the Hawks to a meager 10 points in the fourth to pull away and earn the hard fought victory. LeBron James struggled from the field going 6-20, but found other ways to help his team out. He finished with 14 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds, and 5 …
