NBA commissioner David Stern has indefinitely suspended Gilbert Arenas, saying the Washington Wizards guard is "not currently fit to take the court" for a game.

Stern says in a statement Wednesday that Arenas' actions will "ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse."

Because Arenas violated NBA rules by bringing guns into Washington's locker room, Stern decided to punish Arenas now. He said the suspension begins immediately.

1. Not just one gun... three.

2. Good!

Can the indefinite suspension turn into forever?

3. He probably get suspended for 10 games or so. It's not like he tried

to shoot his own foot!

4. Three guns should be a lifetime suspension, IMO

5. He should go to jail.

DC has pretty strict gun laws. He's an idiot.

6. That's the law in our town, isn't it? Why isn't the other player catching heat?

7. Because it was all a big joke, :sarcasm:

Did you see Arenas and company before the 76ers game last night?! There seems to be a bunch of Wizards who think the whole thing is FUNNY! I hope the Wizards lose every single game. They truly disgust me.

8. I went off them when Howard and Webber didn't show to the season ticket holders

autograph session. I went back on them while Eddie Jordan was coach. He should not have been fired.

But, really, their track record with the law equals that of the Skins, Nats and Untied all combined.

10. He was pointing fingers at them like guns

Dancing around in a circle in pregame. What. An. Idiot.

9. Good

Although I think he should be fired from his job. I know I would be if I pulled a gun on a co-worker and violated policy.
