The 2009 locker room debacle involving Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton drawing guns on each other was shocking to say the least. Now, Arenas is providing details on just how it all went down.
According to Arenas, the feud started after teammate Javale McGee won a card game during a team trip and Crittenton tried to get his money back.
“The plane lands and now Javaris says to JaVale, ‘So you just gonna let me lose my money like that? You ain’t even gonna be a real n—a and give me a chance to get my money back? Aw hell naw, this is the type of s–t that gets you f–ked up in these streets.’ I was like, ‘Javaris, I will burn your car, while you’re in it. Then we’ll find an extinguisher to help ya ass out,’ and he says, ‘Well, I’ll just shoot you then.’ I said, ‘Man, I’ll bring you the guns to shoot me!'”
As rumor has it, Arenas kept his word and brought multiple guns to the team arena for Crittenton to chose from.
“It was about me calling his bluff,” said Arenas. “You say you’re going to shoot me? Fine, I’ll bring you the guns to do it.”
Instead, Crittenton allegedly pulled out his own gun. Luckily the men were stopped before things could get too far gone.
Interestingly enough, Crittenton is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2015 for a 2011 incident.
