Snickering David Stern temporarily reinstates Gilbert Arenas

Two days after indefinitely suspending Gilbert Arenas for his recent behavior, NBA Commissioner David Stern had his way with the troubled guard by temporarily lifting his suspension for all of three minutes.
“I brought him into my office to tell him the suspension was over,” Stern said on Friday. “We shook hands and just before he was about to walk out, I told him I was just messin’ around and in all seriousness, he’ll probably be 50 before I let him play again. You should have seen his face, though. He totally lost his s–t. Just priceless.”
Stern held a press conference Friday morning to announce the prank and taunt Arenas a little more.
“What happened Gilbert?” Stern asked mockingly at his press conference. “You were having so much fun joking with your little finger guns that I thought you’d enjoy my joke. Oh well. Have fun with no duckets for the rest of the year.”

That ain’t right, let the man get charged with something first. Still a bonehead move on Gil’s behalf.
