Arenas suspended indefinitely 

Post#1 » by daddyfivestar » Wed Jan 6, 2010 11:25 pm

Without Pay!

That's $ 197,465 k per game. Or $ 49,366 per gun per game lost pay.

Ouch.

Gilbert's released statement on the suspension:
Gilbert Arenas wrote:I feel very badly that my actions have caused the NBA to suspend me, but I understand why the league took this action. I put the NBA in a negative light and let down my teammates and our fans. I am very sorry for doing that.

While I never intended any harm or disrespect to the NBA or anyone else, my gun possession at the Verizon Center and my attempts at humor showed terrible judgment. I take full responsibility for my conduct.

Earlier today, I called Commissioner Stern to apologize, and I hope we will be able to talk soon. I look forward to the day I can return to basketball. In the meantime, I will focus on dealing responsibly with this serious situation and I will continue to cooperate fully with the investigations by law enforcement and NBA authorities.

he should be suspended for the rest of the year. so many people are killed by guns, both intentionally and accidently. how can someone even try to play that off as a joke? what he did was wrong, stupid, and deserving of this hopefully lengthy suspension.

he's def done for the year. Pretty soon he's going to go down as one of the bigger wastes of talent the NBA has ever seen.

wait maybe I fell for Jackson, Fish, Kobes and Mitchs trick too much

they sure over hyped him and got his value sky high before the Gasol trade. Great assist Jackson, Fish, Kobe, basket Kupcheck
