Top 10 reasons David Stern told Gilbert Arenas not to talk about his gun incident

10) Stern would allow it, but Gilbert's team is now called the Wizards, and not the Bullets

9) It would just irritate the 14 people who are interested in the 2010-11 Wizards season

8) The resulting publicity might might cut down on the jersey sales for new Hornets guard and gun buddy Javaris Crittenton

7) It will make the NBA's next public relations disaster seem fresh and new

6) Stern really doesn't want to see Gilbert become that big of a rap superstar

5) There's clearly no reason to talk about this, when his shooting finger pantomime says it all

4) By not discussing it, he makes his blogging much more suspenseful, assuming All-Father Stern allows that

3) As a distant and false public figure, he makes for a much better role model for children

2) The commish has a real problem about Arenas talking about guns without an endorsement deal

1) By not talking about it, and having the not talking about it reported on the front page of ESPN, it's sure to go away real fast
