Caron Butler Details Gilbert Arenas Gun Incident in New Book | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

He pops off again, “Oh, [screw] you, [guy]. You would try to money-talk somebody.”
So now it’s my deal, so Earl said, “I’m out.” JaVale said, “I don’t need no cards.” Crittenton needs five new cards, so most likely he was about to match the pot once again, so I said, “I’m out,” knowing JaVale has a King, Queen. Since it’s Crittenton’s money in the pot, there’s no need to fight if he gets booed. So I showed my hand, and Crittenton got mad I had three trump cards and didn’t fight with him.

So he screams, “MISDEAL! Gil showed his hand.” JaVale said, “[Screw] that, I win. I have Ace, King, Queen.” So Crittenton tries to use ‘misdeal’ as a way of starting the hand over, so I said, “Y’all figure that out.”

So I walked to the back. They [continued] arguing, but Earl convinced them that JaVale had won. Crittenton yells out, “[That’s a] misdeal!” So I yelled back, “Come get the [stuff] with your hands if you want a misdeal!”

So when the plane lands, [Crittenton] walks back talking tough, saying, “If we were in the streets, I’ll pop you in your knees.” I said, “[Shoot], I’ll give you the guns to do it on Monday.” It was Saturday. We had Sunday off.
