Nearly 16 years after the infamous locker room incident in which Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton pointed firearms at each other, Netflix is giving it the Untold treatment. In a trailer released on Tuesday, Netflix revealed that one of the three upcoming episodes of its Untold series will document Arenas’ and Crittenton’s beef that resulted in both players receiving season-ending suspensions after they pulled guns on each other on Christmas Eve, 2009. The episode, aptly titled “Shooting Guards,” features sit-down interviews with both Arenas and Crittenton. The latter was recently released from prison after serving 10 years after pleading guilty to murder charges in 2011.
