Default The Wizards should change their name back to the Bullets

They're still the Bullets at heart.

Quote:
NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas and his Washington Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton drew guns on each other in the team's locker room during a Christmas Eve dispute over a gambling debt, The Post has learned.

League sources say the pistol-packing point guards had heaters at the ready inside the Verizon Center, the Washington, DC, home of the Wizards -- whose name was changed from the Bullets over gun- violence concerns.

It's not so much that Bullets is a bad name, but rather Wizards is totally lame.

What goes through a player's mind when he makes the decision when heading to the game, to bring his gun with him?

I hope the ownership responds quickly and decisively if this is true. Arenas is a hell of a player but I wouldn't hesitate to ship him out. Who the hell else knew Arenas kept guns(plural) in a locked box in his locker? Unbelievable. The other kid should be shipped out too I guess.

In this case, the joke is that he failed.

Seriously? Alabama must be getting to you, man. What sort of stereotype would you like people to infer about you and the place you were born?

Pretending to shoot his teammates during the pre-game warm-up doesn't help at all. He was indefinitely suspended immediately following that incident.
