    Washington Wizards: Guns drawn in argument
    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.


    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.
    Last week, the Wizards and Arenas acknowledged that Arenas had stored unloaded firearms in a container in his locker, and the NBA said it was looking into the situation.
    It was during that investigation that a confrontation between Arenas and Crittenton was revealed, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
    The dispute stemmed from an unspecified disagreement, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
    Citing an anonymous source, the newspaper reported in Friday's edition, however, 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, told 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, told the Post "we're working with the Metropolitan Police Department on the investigation."

      Which is the bigger issue, they had guns (no shock) or the fact they argued over a gambling debt?

      I wonder how many times Gilbert tanked a 4th quarter to cover some debt.

                      I was just about to post a new topic on this but my thoughts...

                      You know your team is doing bad when they drawing guns on each other, sad.

                      And all that money Gilbert Arenas made and he has to gamble?... Are you serious he just signed a whomping 111 million dollar contract over the summer, unbelievable.

                        And the other guy Crittenton is only a sophmore in the NBA. Why would he jeopardize his NBA career, sad. And it's not like he signed a big contract...

                            i think the real aspect of this is not that he "has" to gamble, he can do whatever he wants, it's that it got to the point where he drew a gun on a teammate over it.

                            i'd call that a moment of clarity. that's probably tops on the g.a. list of warning signs that you have a gambling problem.

                              No doubt Arenas drew the nicer gun. Probably an ivory-handled pistol for Gilbert vs. a pearl-handled revolver for the noob.
