NBA: A poker party lead to a clash inside Washington Wizards
The poker once again attracts the curiosity of the American press following the fixing between two stars of the professional league of basketball (NBA). The most astonishing in the history is that the two players of the NBA had employed their artilleries to settle the disagreement of poker while the two men are team mate in the Washington Wizards. According to the American chainnel NBC Sport, it was about a debt of $30,000 between Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton following a surging part of cash game high stake. A tiny sum when we know the astronomical wages of the players of the NBA, but the two men had preferred to come to the guns.
The history goes back to December 2009 in the cloakrooms of the Verizon Center, the room of the Washington Wizards. According to the New York Post, it was the player Gilbert Arenas who would have been the 1st to hold up his gun in order to answer the threats of Javaris Crittenton, who had in his turn seized his revolver. But the true origin of the threat was probably a debt contracted at the time of a part of poker initiated within the private plane of the Washington Wizards. And other more vigorous parts would have continued in the hotels with increasingly high stakes and Gilbert Arenas would have been the large loser in this history. But the man did not intended to pay this gambling debt and that Javaris Crittenton was ready to recover what is owe him.
