Meanwhile, we’re all very much aware Delonte West, whose criminal case is ongoing, got nabbed last summer by Maryland police for his extremist behavior of shouldering multiple arms. In 2008, Sebastian Telfair carried a pistol onto a Celtics charter and received a measly 3-game suspension. Finally, Phil Jackson ordered players to leave their toys, er, protection at home. When they appeared at opposite ends of the facility, guns drawn, coach Jack McMahon screamed: “Practice is through for the day.”)īulls assistant Johnny Bach told me years ago of walking into their dressing room during the team’s championship seasons and red dots (plural) would appear on his chest. The infamous John Brisker and an ex-football player, who was trying out for the Pittsburgh Condors, got into a fight one afternoon and each went to their cars for equalizers.

(FYI: Contrary to union executive director Billy Hunter’s notion that pulling out guns in the locker room and menacing each other is unprecedented in the annals of professional sports, it’s part of ABA lore. It took more than a minute for the league and Player’s Association to ban that practice but it still regularly happens, I’m informed. Numerous players have them in glove or hidden compartments of cars (Scottie Pippen) just in case there’s trouble (Jackson’s Indianapolis parking lot incident) and some cart them into locker rooms. Not that it’s a revelation NBA players own guns. In that Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson got suspended 73 and 30 games, respectively, for going into The Palace stands unarmed, the “upshot” for presenting arms in an intimidating way in the locker room, should qualify Arenas and Crittenton as missing “pieces” to Washington’s puzzle. Same goes for Crittenton, if it’s determined he reached for one of Gilbert’s guns or was holstering his own heat. If for some indeterminate reason, Arenas doesn’t wind up doing hard time for bringing three guns to the work place, thereby violating District of Columbia laws, the Collective Bargaining Agreement and common sense, this wangster still must be ejected from David Stern’s game. Judging strictly by newspaper, Internet and talk radio reaction by fanatical and casual basketball fans alike, the outbreak of insanity is incalculably damaging the league’s image and product.ĪRENAS, CRITTENTON’S HIGH-STAKES POKER GAME THAT ENDED IN ‘DRAW!’ what an unfathomable, boundary-crossing, guns-in-the-Wizards locker-room Gilbert Arenas-Javaris Crittenton grudge confrontation story!Ĭovering and following the NBA almost requires mucking from one mire (referee Tim Donaghy betting on games) to the next, resulting in grave consequences to those who have the most to lose.
