NBA veterans Kwame Brown and Gilbert Arenas have a history together. They played together for two years for the Washington Wizards. Coming into the league after two years in college, Arenas was not a superstar name. The Golden State Warriors drafted Arenas in the second round of the 2001 NBA draft. On the other hand, Brown was a superstar coming straight out of high school with a huge hype in the same year. And the Wizards selected Brown as the #1 pick. However, things did not go as most expected.

Many consider Brown as one of the worst first overall picks ever. Despite only being drafted in the second round, Arenas soon became a superstar in the league. He then joined the Wizards in 2003. During their time together, Arenas and Brown did not have the best of relationships. A heated argument between the two once required police intervention.
