Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended by the NBA for the remainder of the season on Wednesday, and in an afternoon conference call, commissioner David Stern made his reasoning for the severity of the punishment for the two Washington Wizards players as plain as possible."We have preached to them in writing, and actually in person, on this very subject, and yet they brandished firearms, and that just cannot be tolerated,'' Stern said.
The NBA's action puts a finite number on the indefinite suspension slapped on Arenas Jan. 6, after he mocked the growing publicity over the Dec. 21 confrontation with Crittenton in the team's Verizon Center locker room with his comments and by pantomiming firing guns in a pregame huddle. It also disciplines Crittenton for his role in the incident, for which he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unregistered firearm possession in Washington, D.C. Superior Court on Monday.
