Sports pic of the day

This little stunt along along with that other little one (you know, the one where he pulled a gun on a teammate) got Arenas an indefinite suspension from the NBA yesterday.

You’d think Arenas would try to lay low for awhile, stay out of the spotlight. But in pre-game against the Sixers on Tuesday night, he gestured with his fingers as if pointing a gun.

With the league trying to clean up its image, David Stern had enough and gave him the boot.

You can expect Arenas to be out for the remainder of the season, however, teammate Javaris Crittenton isn’t exactly free of guilt here.

A Washington Post story today had this account

The two players had been arguing during a card game on the Wizards’ flight back from Phoenix Dec. 19, and the dispute spilled into the team locker room at Verizon Center before practice two days later. Arenas has acknowledged bringing his handguns to the arena and displaying them in the locker room that morning in what he maintained was a playful gesture aimed at his teammate.

According to two first-hand accounts of the confrontation, Crittenton responded to Arenas’s action — which included laying the four unloaded weapons in Crittenton’s cubicle with a note that read, “Pick One” — by brandishing his own firearm, loading the gun and chambering a round.

Two of the five people in the room that morning, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Arenas had originally not disclosed Crittenton’s action to protect the little-used guard from prosecution and had told Crittenton he would assume full responsibility for the actions of both players that day.

These two are quickly becoming the “Beavis and Butthead” of the NBA. Or is it Lenny and Squiggy?

Eh, whichever one is dumber I guess.
