The inmates are running the asylum (NBA thread)

I was wondering the same thing. Why is Critenton not being suspended as well as he is just as guilty?

Apparently the story is not true, and Arenas was suspended for publicly mocking it.  Stern is a complete scumbag.

As much as I dislike Godell he is a thousand times better of a commish than Stern.

I love that movie.
So it is okay to commit a crime as an NBA player, but you will be suspended for making a joke about it?

According to LeBatard's article, there is no proof that a crime was comimtted.  No proof that guns were drawn.  They can't confirm that the original story is true.  All they know for sure is that both players keep guns in their lockers, and considering how two NBA players were recently robbed at gunpoint, that's understandable.

Clearly there was a touch of sarcasm in that post. 

Oh, I got that.  There's a reason Bill Simmons calls that year's Spurs squad the San Antonio Donaghys.  I disagree, but I get it.

Yet by the rules they should have both been suspended for having weapons on the grounds, yet only one is punished. Arenas was right to make fun about it as the whole policy is a joke with no enforcement.
