Dan T. Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 The NBA has apparently seen enough of Gilbert Arenas' gunplay, and it looks like the Wizards' star won't see game action for quite some time. League Commissioner David Stern suspended Arenas indefinitely on Wednesday without pay, saying he is "not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game," and that the guard's actions "will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse." Federal prosecutors have convened a grand jury to explore an incident involving Arenas and handguns in the team locker room. Arenas spoke to prosecutors about the incident for two hours Monday. Tuesday night might have been the last straw as far as the league was concerned. A Getty image shot during pre-game warmups in Philadelphia showed Arenas smiling and pointing his fingers at teammates as if they were guns. Arenas later tweeted about the incident, saying "I know everybody seen the pre game pics..my teammate thought to break the tention we should do that..but this is gettn way to much. I wanna say sorry if I p***ed any body off by us havin fun...I'm sorry for anything u need to blame for for right now." That incident, and his teammates' reaction, didn't sit well with Wizards management. http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/sports/NBA-Suspends-Gilbert-Arenas-Indefinitely-80824477.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins561 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Arenas deserves every ounce of punishment that is coming to him. at the very minimum he deserves a couple years in prison like Buress, and he should get an extra year for joking about it.

Destino Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 In case you're thinking "self defense" this is the type of gun in question from what I've read: Not a self defense style weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Good for Stern and good for the NBA. Hey, Gilbert. Guess what, pal. It's not a joke. See ya. Thanks for being a role model for kids. You helped SO MUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
