Gilbert Arenas on Javaris Crittenton Getting 23 Years for Murder, Victim was Human Shield (Part 25) 

Gilbert a real one for keeping in contact with him and still mentoring him. Respect 🤙🏽

I knew he was gonna hit us with a “you gotta remember...” 😂😂

Shout out to Gil for admitting that Javaris was unfairly punished for their incident having said all of that R.I.P. to the woman that lost her life sad situation smh

A sentence I thought I would never hear. "AFTER HE JOINED THE LAKERS, HE JOINED THE CRIPS".

He still talks to him that’s dope.

So Javaris worked his ass off his entire life to make it into the NBA - only to join a set and be gangsta? Talk about hustling backwards. SMH

Thats cool they still talk. You can tell Gilbert is a genuinely good person.

Love listening to this guy all the time. He gives you that real when he speaks no matter how it makes him look

Props to him for continuing to support him. Prayers to the family of the young lady.

I believe it was on All The Smoke where Gil said him & Caron been puttin money on Javaris’ books for years. They’re stand up niggas for that.

Did he say he joined a gang? Smh...I had a rough childhood....especially in high school, but I was never a criminal. People think folks in gangs are heartless killers, b UT talk to their family and friends and they see that person in a different light. When I was in school...the junior black mafia was running rampant in Philly, but one of them was my best friend. I wanted to join cause I was a angry kid but I wasn't hood at all...grew up in uptown Philly. I asked him to get me in and his response was...for what? To get yourself killed...he said anymore mention of it and he's going to tell my dad. I was terrified of my pops so I left it alone...6 months later he died in jail. Yes people saw him as a piece of shit, but he saved my life. I was dead serious about joining. Now at age 45...I'm so glad he did what he did. I to this day am close with his family. I looked after them like he looked after me.

Finally he done with the gun incident it was like six parts 😂😂😂😂

Gilbert's face while vlad was reading the charges was priceless. It looked like his first time hearing some of that 😅🤣😂

Most important take away from this interview - the DA stopped talking to him after his story didnt fit their narrative. They have no interest in the truth, only convictions.

Imagine goin sign with the lakers. And u sign with the crips 2 weeks later

a more interesting than i initially thought would be interview

I'M GLAD HE EXPLAINED THAT WHOLE ORDEAL. IT'S COOL THAT THEY'RE STILL FRIENDS AFTER ALL OF THE B.S.

I remember playing against them cats in high school. They played for a team called the Atlanta Celtics. It was Javaris Crittenton, Dwight Howard and Josh Smith all on the same team.

its not Gilbert fault what bro ended up doing but if I was Gilbert I would feel really bad about how the gun incident caused a person to spiral out of control and end up in prison for a 23 year sentence. Its good he at least talks to him tho.

Just release the full interview already

Much respect to Gil for not turning his back on dude! Very cool!

Gilbert was playing games with a killer

I like that Gilbert thinks before he speaks that’s a good trait to have .

The funniest part is Gil asking Vlad how much probation did he have and Vlad answering. Gil didn’t even remember how long he was on probation, man you got to be oblivious to your own actions if you don’t remember part of your punishment.

Its good to have friends like gilbert. Though incidents like this can turn serious these types of friends can help you built thick skin. You need all types of friends but friends like gilbert as far as male friends goes can be good as long as they have their limits of pushing you and your back. As fsr as him serving 23 years is something we need to work on as a culture. It easier to change the few in a culture who dont go astray, but when a culture embraces too much negativity in life you have people like him who had talent, but he wasnt mentally tough enough not to go astray. Not judging him, but as much as people want to say we are adults at the end of the day having a culture that live by a positive code is important to help more lost minds wakeup, because there is always more sheep in a society than leaders.

Best interview

Real 1 Gilbert still talk to em 💯 phone call everything when you locked down

@6:20 "I wasn't in a half-way house. I was only there half the time." Facts.

Wow not what I expected....respect

Gil kept it 💯 an sticking by my guy ❤❤❤

Man Im glad I heard the truth finally!

When keeping it real goes wrong 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yup, this wraps that story up. Shame for Javaris but he did what he did.

He's a good kid.....and definitely can HOOP!! RIP Mamba, he'd testify to that🕊️ ... Condolences out to the Mother's family ... 🕊️

The look in Gil’s face when hearing about the charges just shows he really do feel for Javaris as a lil bro. Doesn’t know whether to be upset or defend him.

Props Vladimir; for (not) having contrived, questions already divulged to make for cookie-cutter semi-scripted interviews. You're either a great actor, or the interview changed when you found out the actual humanity of an unfortunate circumstance.

I'm a lifelong Georgia Tech fan and I remember Crittenton in Atlanta. He showed so much promise. It's sad when a man who has it all goes down a dark path. He deserves what he's going through because his crime not only took a life but ruined several more through the domino effect. Cautionary tale for others whether you're an athlete or not.

Damn completely unaware of this

Wow I never knew any of this.

Least javaris crittenton didn't pop Gilbert he was really like that 💯💯💯💯

Damn...look like he was about to shed a tear for Javaris during Vlads breakdown!!

Damn man that’s sad situation

Vald doing his police work when reading all that jc did 😂😂 and then asking GA did you talk to him at all during this time

Real Stand Up Dude Solid Brother Gilbert Agent 0 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Update- hes out of jail and was recently on Gilbert Arenas video podcast discussing Ja Morant situation with him

“Went to work with my strap today like I’m Gilbert Arenas!” Long Live Dolph🐬

Like so many things, it just got out of hand. Damn it...

Kids these days don’t really know how serious agent 0 was on that court😬

these are the type of vets you DONT need in the locker room. he thinks everything is a joke, everything is a game. He def didn't lead the youngin in the right way

Gilbert is always funny but he truly is a really good guy

He should've went n told him that side since they thought they were enemies the jury would've considered that into the case

Correction… the lady who lost her life got it worst.

*I forgot a6out Him* *Javaris* *Atleast he still keeps in touch wit him* *When People At There Lowest They Need Someone To Hang On To*

This and the Malice in the Palace are the greatest storylines in NBA history

Gilbert is a strange cat.. Very usual sense of humor

Gilbert seems like okay dude he growing on me I didn’t know he still was kool with javaris sending him money and still talk to him salute. Gilbert definitely was a bucket in the nba

Dam I didn’t know that

Did I just hear he joined the Crips after signing with the Lakers?? You know what.... It ain't my life... Who am I to judge

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

Gil trying not to laugh when Vlad said he joined the crips lol 2:13

Gilbert the type of person who probably laughed when he found out he was playing around with a psycho killer

Crazy and scary are my words. This world is crazy as hell.

As soon as Gilbert says some positive about him Vlad quickly brings back the fucked up shit

Vlad tried to set it up like there was real tension with Gil And Dog but it’s All Love -Lil Durk voice

Is it bad this is the only clip this whole interview I cared to watch

It was Gilbert guns in the locker room and instead of taking responsibility for all of em being his because they didn't have proof, they cut Javaris for that and it probably played a a major role into the position he was in shooting at dude

Man wins “Nobel Peace Prize” and goes on VLADTV platform. VLADTV: “Ok, so you won a medal but can you tell me some negative things about you?!

The black delegates would like to trade Gilbert Arenas for Old Head Caruso on the bulls.

Gilbert needs to have his own podcast show the media back in the day when he played did try to paint him as a gun toting crazy person in the locker room.

Javaris Crittenton will be out of jail before Vlad gets done releasing this interview

Gil a Real one!! 💯

You a real one Gilbert Arenas

I remember Gilbert used to sponsor a Halo 3 pro team in MLG back before gaming was big in like 2008. First time I heard of him was from that

Gilbert keeps saying how close they were, that doesn't sound like a big brother little brother situation.

Def thought the screen froze

Gil a real one bro 💯

Gil thinks the whole thing is a joke. At least he's being honest, I'll give him that.

Gil is a great storyteller.

Just think, these two brothers had great careers after coming from humble beginnings Due to ego and poor decision making they both had to be deal with the consequences. Gilbert is great at deflection and explain himself out of the situation. Not one time did Gilbert admit his wrongs

2:13 that lil smile when Vlad said he joined the crips while a Laker😂💀💀

Salute to Gil for standing up or Javaris and admitting he was unfairly punished for the incident in Dc. and that he keeps in contact with his lil bro. vlad tried to slander him with out knowing the FACT. the shooting of the woman be it because the dude used her as a shield or just bad results from being heated and making a decision that ended up haunting him Rip to the woman

Vlad is asking Gilbert about what he knows about the story so district attorneys can go and add more charges than what Javaris already has.

GA accepted accountability for his role in the situation spinning out of control… yes they were wrong… but the team used the media to take money from 2 Black athletes… the team could have easily covered this up… the media had us thinking these dudes had guns drawn and were about to have a shootout…it’s unfortunate that their juvenile behavior cost them so much… other folks have done way worse, but the rules are always different for certain people… ultimately Jarvis was infatuated with the street life and got caught up… he could have easily worked his tail off and got back in the league…but immaturity cost him…

I was hoping he said he stays in touch with him, that’s good.

I’ve never heard an interview with Gilbert Arenas. He seems like a good dude.

Just don’t understand why niggas who have made it decide later on in life to join gangs lol why would any real gang accept anyways?

I don’t know what it was, but there was SOME kind of emotion shown behind that question of if Javaris was kicked off the team when Gil said “yeah, so basically…” 👀 1:36

Javaris Crittenton was the prequel to Ja Morant.

Javaris shold have had a better mindset too know that you are a lucky dude to have a chance to play in the NBA,Now you eating Frozen uncooked meat with russian corn-bread and diet water while playing NBA2K8😆

Gil get props for still riding with his guy after the difficulty in their relationship.

Props to Arenas.. Man he gained my respect for not bashing another man when they down..

How many times Gilbert says 'You know' ?

Great that Gil still talks to javaris but let's be honest if Gil would have never brought those guns into the locker room and said " Pick one" javaris life would 8/10 been different.

Props to Arenas for still giving him the benefit of the doubt even if he actually ended up pulling the trigger on a gun and ended up taking a person's life, intentionally or unintentionally.

Damn the other guy went down!!!

His PO is watching this like 😩😨🙆🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

.much respect to Gilbert for not abandoning him despite his mistakes.

Hold up ( N My Pimp C voice).. How u join the Crips and Lakers in same season🤔😕

So basically you got two punks in the story and one innocent lady that lost her life to a leg shot,

Damn Vlad do be on negative Black stories like no mans business. Kwame said it
