There was a fierce argument between the two sides, and both of them threatened to bring guns to the locker room the next day to settle the dispute.
Caron Butler was just talking tough at the time, not taking it seriously.
The teammates also thought the two were just talking big.
But the next day, when Gilbert Arenas really pulled out a gun from his locker, even Pat Riley, who had witnessed Magic wielding guns in the locker room, was stunned.
This wasn't the first time the casual Great General had done such a thing. Back when Arenas was with the Warriors during his rookie season, he was asked by veteran teammates to buy donuts. In NBA locker rooms, this is a very common "rookie task."
But the Great General was very unwilling to endure this kind of thing, so he licked all the donuts he bought and smeared them with baby powder before handing them to his teammates.
Naturally, the result was that Gilbert Arenas was tied up and thrown into the washing machine.
