FJM: Gilbert Arenas Edition

ESPN.com has the hilarious details of Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton western style stand-off

An argument commenced during a card game on the team's overnight flight back to Washington from Phoenix on Dec. 19 and escalated into a heated exchange between Arenas and Crittenton.

A "heated exchange" is defined as a couple swears and maybe a chest bump. Once someone takes out a pistol, it officially escalates to the "mo fo's got a gun" category.

Arenas placed three guns he owns on a chair near Crittenton's locker stall and invited him to pick one before practice on Dec. 21. Sources said that Crittenton subsequently let Arenas know that he had his own gun.

He really is Agent Zero! Got guns and everything. Only in the NBA are all disputes solved through the exchange of weaponry. "Dude, so sorry for sleeping with your wife. Let me make it up for you. Here's a bazooka."

Arenas and Crittenton pulled guns on each other over a gambling debt during the pre-practice confrontation at the Verizon Center.

Jordan was a notorious gambler. I wonder how many times he needed to pull out the semi-automatic to "resolve" his gambling debts. Rumor is that MJ left basketball for 2 years because David Stern suspended him for gambling related activities. Clearly Stern packs more heat than his airness.

Quoted Arenas as saying, "That's not the real story." The newspaper also reported that the argument between Arenas and Crittenton was over "who had the bigger gun"

I'm pretty sure that argument happened in the shower after practice, so not technically a lie

Arenas may not play Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs because of soreness in his left knee

Errrrr, because he's being investigated by the FBI and NBA security for threatening to kill a guy. If charged with a fellony, the Wizards may be able to void Arena's untradeable $111 million dollar contract. The Wiz should really go back to being called the Bullets. It's more politically correct

Arenas was right after all, "Impossible is nothing...if you got guns to back you up". I wonder if Arenas was packing heat when I saw him at the airport in Washington this past summer
