Since entering the league we’ve always known Gilbert Arenas to have a certain mystique about him. Good or bad, he’s always entertaining. Whether it’s his wacky pregame/halftime superstitions or a 60 point outpour, he’s a flat out talented and interesting human being.

Unfortunately for him, the news surrounding Arenas most recently is intriguing for all the wrong reasons. Sadly, he seems to want to laugh off the idea of bringing three guns to the Washington Wizards locker room and brandishing them in front of his teammates and other Wizards’ staff, but nobody will go there with him.

In his defense, Arenas is a self proclaimed goofball and seemingly wouldn’t hurt a fly. Boy scouts, however, pack compasses and pride pins, not choppers.

At this point, there’s no telling what Stern is going to do, but you can bet your bottom bitch he’s going to take action. This incident serves as yet another opportunity to set an example and given the Plaxico Burress error, the Commissioner will likely come down as hard as he possibly can.

One has to wonder though, how hard he can come. Sure, guns are not allowed in NBA arenas (no pun intended), but Agent Zero had a good reason for bringing his: he wanted to keep his children out of harm’s way. Moreover, at no point was the weapon fired and to the day, we don’t know if it was even loaded. He and Crittenton seem to be on good terms and lastly, he didn’t shoot himself.

With local and federal authorities now involved though, the Commish may be the least of Arenas’ worries.

What a way to start off a new decade.
