An advertisement featuring Kobe Bryant and LeBron James includes a gun reference.

The ad, just inside the inside cover of this week's Sports Illustrated, appears the same week Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended for carrying firearms to the locker room.

The players appear along with the slogan, "Prepare For Combat," is a quote from each player showing how tough he is.

Bryant's blurb says: "I'll do whatever it takes to win games. I don't leave anything in the chamber."
