Wizards Need Magic
It all started with a card game. That’s how these things always start, isn’t it. At least, if you are in a Wild West saloon. The Washington Wizards’ Gilbert Arenas got into an argument over a card game with Javaris Crittenden on the plane and that apparently escalated to the point of him bringing a gun (or several?) to the Wizards’ home stadium, unloaded, and setting them on Crittenden’s chair. This could be in violation of several laws and definitely violates the NBA’s policy on the matter, let alone any workplace’s decision on the matter. Perhaps this could be viewed as a goofy mistake made by a young man. But then he followed it up with jokes on his Twitter and making finger-gun hand gestures during a recent starting lineup introduction. And that wasn’t all. So commissioner Stern had to come out with a stern response, suspending Arenas indefinitely and threatening worse. He is in deep trouble and should probably keep quiet until this all blows over. The Wizards might also have to take out Crittenden, since he might have also brought guns to the workplace. Tough love sometimes hurts, especially from David Stern.
