Gilbert Arenas vs Javaris Crittenton

The NBA team Washington Wizards's Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton never saw eye to eye. In 2009, the duo were playing a card game on the team plane, where they had a huge fight. Since the fight, Arenas, then the Wizards' biggest star, had brought four guns to the locker room. Two days later, during team practice, he taunted Crittenton with the guns. To make matters worse, Crittenton responded by taking a loaded gun back to the team's dressing room, and pointed it at Arenas. The infamous gun showdown led both players to be suspended for the remainder of the season. Two years later, Crittenton was convicted of manslaughter in 2011, when he shot dead a woman in Atlanta.
