The Wizards had what I can only imagine was a wonderfully relaxing practice Friday in D.C., just as the world caught wind of the allegations Gilbert Arenas pulled a gun on teammate Javaris Crittenton inside the Wizards locker room two weeks ago. Arenas has admitted to housing guns in his locker at the Verizon Center, and D.C. law enforcement officials are investigating the alleged standoff between Arenas and Crittenton, and whether Arenas violated laws at any point.The New York Post had Friday's most vivid telling of the alleged December 21 standoff between the Wizards. In its story, the newspaper reported that Crittenton confronted Arenas for an unpaid gambling debt. Arenas then drew a firearm from his locker, which led to Crittenton pulling his own weapon.
But Arenas told Washington Post beat writer Michael Lee after practice Friday that the New York Post account of the now-infamous locker room face-off simply isn't true. Lee tweeted that Arenas said "that's not the real story" and that the guard is considering bringing a lawsuit against the newspaper.
Of course, as of yet, Arenas hasn't explained what did happen in the locker room on the 21st. Until he does so, or until authorities report on their findings, he's in a real P.R. pickle. The story is just too jaw-dropping to ignore.
