EXCLUSIVE
Guess they're still the Bullets at heart.

NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas and his Washing ton Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton drew guns on each other in the team's locker room during a Christmas Eve dispute over a gambling debt, The Post has learned.

League sources say the pistol-packing point guards had heat ers at the ready inside the Verizon Center, the Washington, DC, home of the Wizards -- whose name was changed from the Bullets over gun-violence concerns.

It was the three-time all-star Arenas, 27, who went for his gun first, sources said, drawing on the 22-year-old Crittenton, who quickly brandished a firearm as well.

It was not clear whether other teammates saw the shocking standoff, which happened on a practice day.

This is just jaw-dropping.  They must have hair-triggers over stuff like this (really bad pun, I know).

NBA claims they knew nothing:

I love how Arenas thinks this is all a joke - he won't be laughing when he loses his $100 million contract.   Thugs.  Idiots.

Hmm...and the Verizon Center is another one of those "gun-free zones".  ::) Pay $200 for family tickets and get hit by strays courtesy of the "talent".
