THE GUN STANDOFF BETWEEN GILBERT ARENAS AND JAVARIS CRITTENTON CAUGHT ON TAPE….GILBERT RELEASES A STATEMENT

This is a mess. I’m so disappointed in Gilbert Arenas because he is really a nice guy. Yes I know this personally…

I didn’t know that his “goofiness” as he describes it would make fun of a serious situation. The picture above is just stupid stupid stupid. No one has heard a peep from Javaris Crittenton. Can you blame him? He is a little smarter than Gilbert.

TMZ is reporting that the standoff was caught on tap but they are having trouble downloading it and the Geek Squad is on the way.

And get this — a source connected with the investigation tells TMZ the Wizards have been “over cooperative” with cops — as the source says, “almost as if they want Arenas to go down.”

The source says “there is a better than 50/50 chance the U.S. Attorney will issue a felony arrest warrant against Arenas.”

As for what caused the confrontation that allegedly triggered a gun standoff — law enforcement tells TMZ it was all over a card game known as Bourré.

LAWD…

Anywho Gilbert releases a statement:

“I feel very badly that my actions have caused the NBA to suspend me, but I understand why the league took this action. I put the NBA in a negative light and let down my teammates and our fans. I am very sorry for doing that.

While I never intended any harm or disrespect to the NBA or anyone else, my gun possession at the Verizon Center and my attempts at humor showed terrible judgment. I take full responsibility for my conduct.

Earlier today, I called Commissioner Stern to apologize, and I hope we will be able to talk soon. I look forward to the day I can return to basketball. In the meantime, I will focus on dealing responsibly with this serious situation and I will continue to cooperate fully with the investigations by law enforcement and NBA authorities.”
