I did the same thing to Gene. Sad part is I live in Baltimore and work by DC, I should have known better.

It was Gilbert Arenas, and NBA Commissioner David Stern just suspended him indefinitely, pending the results of the criminal investigation. The damage is done, but at least the right steps are being taken to correct the situation.

The irony here is that the Washington Wizards used to be known as the Washington Bullets. The name was changed in order to de-emphasize gun violence, among other things. Seems that Arenas didn’t get the message. Well, let’s hope that they take a substantial amount of his $16.2 million paycheck for this season.

Great toon Drew. Everyone is saying that it was Artest who drew the gun, but I think that’s a mistake. I’m fairly sure it was Gilbert Arenas. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

Nice toon Drew. I do believe it does reveal how the NBA decline in players morals. Most NBA players are individuals who do not realize what an opportunity they are provided by being able to play in the NBA. Why is Artest still allowed to play in the NBA? Why isn’t he in jail? Because he is an athlete. If I pulled a gun on someone I work with, loaded or unloaded, I would be fired immediately and hauled off to jail. Now Artest is saying he now knows it was not a funny to pull a gun on someone. Why didn’t he say this last week when it was released? I cannot remember the last time I watched an NBA game because of the image that the NBA reflects. I will watch college ball and semi-pro but the NBA needs to change their image before I will start watching them.
