The dissolution of Latrell Sprewell

It took a while, but every NBA free agent eventually found their way to a team. Curry is with the Knicks, Allen is with the Sonics, Johnson is with the Hawks and free agency is all but over. Wait … I’m forgetting someone. Hey, where’s Latrell Sprewell? Yes, Minnesota’s split from Cassell and Sprewell has gone so well that Sprewell isn’t even in the NBA right now. In fact, he may never return.

How bad was Sprewell’s season last year – what if there is no bad job. In a Q rating of marketing evaluations for athletic athletes, Spree was the last, yes, the worst. First was his quote about having to feed his family on a salary of $ 14.6 million. Then there was an incident where he cursed a Clippers fan within earshot of television cameras. Finally, there were the chemistry issues mixed in with his T-wolves teammates and their horrible production that kept Minnesota out of the playoffs a year after having the best record in the league.

Sprewell had the worst year of his career last year, suffering career lows in points, rebounds, assists and minutes per game. Combine that with your unforgettable altercation with PJ Carlisemo and the high contract he would surely demand, and the Nuggets, Clippers and Lakers stopped taking phone calls. And let’s face it; Spree is the only guy (who if he was still playing) who has a worse reputation than Ron Artest. Except Sprewell doesn’t act as innocent as Artest.

Wait a minute; maybe we’re being too quick to jump the gun. Let’s let Sprewell speak for itself: “I stopped by Cub Foods for the first time since 1991 and bought six packs of Pork Ramen for 78 cents. I barely had enough for the 58 cent box of Best Yet Mac and Cheese, but we’ll just pinch our pennies for the next day or so. ” That was pretty stupid, but let’s see if we can go a step higher: and I quote: “A sixth grader made fun of one of my kids on the bus, that stupid whore.” Here we go. And yet people don’t seem to like it. A real head scratcher.

Overall, Sprewell may not be playing at all this season and he doesn’t deserve excuses. Suffocating a coach is more than enough to get you kicked out, but he gets a second chance. He sure did well at first in New York, but he really fell apart ever since. A man as cut off from the real world as anyone, Spree turns 36 in 2006. Being paid millions of dollars to play basketball is a great privilege, and Spree has exhausted his welcome. No team will dare to pick it up, due to the negative press they would receive. Not only that, but it was Latrell Sprewell who monopolized those stupid tire rotors on cars (AKA Sprewells). Add it all up, and that $ 7 million extension the Wolves offered you a year ago is starting to look awfully good now, especially if you never play again.
