I will not turn this into any anti-gun rant, nor will I give Mr Arenas any more face time then he deserves. For those of you who may not be completely up to date in the goings on of the National Basketball Association. Mr Arenas recently decided it was a good idea to bring not one, not two, but three hand guns into his place of work, yes, the Washington Wizards locker room. Arenas had an unsettled gambling debt owed to him by a fellow teammate, yes, teammate. A sure fire indication that the Wizards may not be the most cohesive team came when Arenas placed his three hand guns in front of his teammates locker and left a note requesting him to choose one. I don't think he meant as a piece of locker room decor, but rather a piece that he would like Arenas to familiarize himself with in a non team building kind of way. *Face palm*Where this story really blows ones mind, is in the mental well being of a 27 year old man, a so called professional that thought something like this would not make national front pages. A gun. In your locker room? Not hidden, but arrogantly, maliciously, and idiotically displayed for all to see. Way to go Gilbert, I mean it's not like we would ever find those, what do you call them again? Reporters! Strolling around your locker room right. Pure genius. Mr. Arenas is known to most hardcore hoops fans, by his nic name, which I can only imagine now, was self given. "Agent Zero", do I really need to drop a punch line on you here? You can fill in your own. I will say this in closing. David Stern, the commissioner of the NBA, likely had a moment of zen sitting in his office as this charade unfolded over the last few weeks. It probably wasn't what he envisioned for his NBA marketing campaign, but it rang true now more then ever, sadly.
The NBA. Where amazing happens. ( Amazingly stupid )
