Gil Arenas
Posted on Jan 07, 2010 under Uncategorized |
This is a strange story going on in the NBA right now. Gilbert Arenas, resident goofball of the Washington Wizards, is in some deep water. There was an incident with a teammate which ultimately culminated in him bringing a gun (or several) to the stadium and possibly pointing them at the other player, or at least setting it on a chair as either a joke or a threat. It’s not clear what actually happened. The guy messed up. He has been suspended pending a criminal investigation (the guns weren’t registered for DC, where the stadium is). The real spark getting him suspended was his joking Tweets, interviews and an unfortunate finger-gun-pointing display. There is talk of a long-term suspension and possible criminal charges. It will be very interesting to watch this play out; especially with the possibility of a lifetime suspension (which is probably too harsh), everyone is extra wound up about this particular problem.
