Arenas, Guns and a Joke on Crittenton Gone Wrong

Add the fact that the freaking Charlotte Bobcats are playing much better than these guys these days and you have one fucked-up season.

Yes, that’s how the Washington Wizards have welcomed the new year this 2010 NBA basketball season. They are simply in disarray, sitting dead-last behind the Charlotte Bobcats in the Southeast. At least they are still doing better than the Nets so far but with the kind of shit the Wizards are in right now, I won’t be surprised if they set an even more pathetic display than those guys from East Rutherford.

In case you’ve been living under a rock lately, the Wizards are making the headlines not because of their play on the court but with the latest shit that has hit ‘em this season. Gilbert Arenas got into a locker room altercation with teammate Javaris Crittenton. And oh yeah, it involved three of Arenas’ wonderful guns.

According to some reports, three Washington Wizards; Gilbert Arenas, Javaris Crittenton and JaVale McGee, were all playing cards on a flight home from Phoenix before Christmas. McGee kicked both of his teammates’ asses, resulting to Arenas and Crittenton losing BIG.

Arenas, being the prima donna that he is, refused to pay up because he was upset over a dispute about the rules. He left teammate Javaris Crittenton to pay the entire pot by himself. Of course, Crittenton argued with Arenas over his share of the losings, and jokingly threatened to shoot Arenas in his left knee, yup, the same knee that kept Arenas off the court the last few years.

Two days later, Arenas placed three of his own guns next to Crittenton’s locker with a note saying, ”Pick one.” Arenas claims he was only joking but after Crittenton tossed one of the guns across the room screaming that he has his own gun, it’s quite clear that he didn’t get the joke.

And neither did the NBA. But for some reason, Arenas still thinks it’s funny.

”That’s bad judgment on my part. Storing them in here and I take responsibility for that,” Arenas said. ”If you know me, you’ve been here, I’ve never did anything violent. Everything I do is funny, or it’s funny to me.”

Crittenton’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, came to the defense of his client, denying allegations that Crittenton pulled a gun on Arenas.

”I can say that I really think that when all is said and done, the facts will show that Javaris didn’t do anything wrong. He’ll be exonerated on everything,” Bartelstein said in a phone interview. ”That’s not who Javaris is. He did not do anything wrong. The only thing we can do is wait for the investigation to be completed so that we can move on. This is not what he wants people talking about with regards to him. It’s really unfair the way the rumors work now.”

I guess this is Arenas’ last season in Washington.
