The Wizards settle their disputes Old West style

Gilbert Arenas apparently owes Javaris Crittenton money.  Javaris wants his money.  Gilbert doesn't seem to want to pay it.  So they did what any reasonable people would do in that situation… drew guns on each other in a crowded locker room.

The duel in DC — unprecedented in sports history — was sparked
when Crittenton became enraged at the veteran guard for refusing to
make good on a gambling debt, a source said.

"I'm not your punk!" Crittenton shouted at Arenas, according to a league source close to the Wizards.

That prompted Arenas to draw on Crittenton, who then also grabbed for a gun, league security sources said. 

A playground pal of Crittenton's from Atlanta, Kendrick "Bookie Ball"
Long, confirmed the locker-room standoff and said he learned of it
directly from the third-year player out of Georgia Tech. 

"He
[Arenas] was f- – -ing with him; he [Crittenton] was just defending
himself!" declared Long, who said the dispute was over money but would
not elaborate.
