Some of my favorite players of all time : Sprewell Michael Finley Penny Tmac Steve Francis Rodman Alonzo The glove J will Starbury Rip Hamilton Starks Jesus shuttlesworth... imma just stop , I’m just thankful I’ve lived through and seen the best era and times of basketball early 90s - 2010
they point guard was charlie ward and chris childs i felt was the better PG but for some damn favoritism reason Van Gundy starts ward who doesn't defend
As a 40 yr old NYC lifelong resident I can attest to how nasty spree was ! I thought after the Ewing prime years the knicks were doomed but the addition of Latrell and Allan gave us the last legit contender in a very very long time. Dude was fire and hate to say it cause I don’t like Westbrook but they both played angry and with that fire !!!
Fun fact: They actually could've drafted him 7 years earlier and probably would've won a title or two. But selected career journeyman Hubert Davis instead 😪
The 93 warriors team was one of my favorites that never fully realized its potential because of Don Nelson’s personality defects and player management. Webber, Mullin, Hardaway, Sprewell & Gatling. Spre for 3! The spinners - this guy is in my Hall of Fame.
Meh, I don't think blaming his Nelson is entirely to blame. Sometimes the personalities just don't mesh. Nellie didn't seem to have those problems with RUN TMC.
@@IAmRyan25 Injuries were a factor, and also giving Chris Webber an out clause after his first season was a mistake by the Warriors. Don Nelson & Webber should've worked out, but Webber was bound and determined not to be a center, even if in Nelson's system Webber wouldn't have to be a traditional center.
@@IAmRyan25 Yeah, this team really stuck with me (loved using them in "NBA Live '95" as well). I thought they'd be title contenders instead of an entertaining underdog that could pull off a first-round upset (their legacy until they discovered greatness in the mid-2010s), and the Webber thing? If Nelson & Webber could've come to an understanding, the Warriors acquired Rony Seikaly (good player, & fit for what they did) for the center spot, so we're looking at a starting five of Hardaway, Sprewell, Mullin, Webber, & Seikaly, with an okay bench (Chris Gatling, Ricky Pierce, and Tim Legler). Sadly, 15 days after acquiring Seikaly, Webber was traded. The punch was spiked by then, injuries completed the slide, and the team became miserable. I think it's a shame really.
He also rejected 21 million contract from Minnesota and after that nobody offered anything. Infamous - I have the family to feed. He went bankrupt in 2007. Looks like he was a hot head but definitely very attractive player to watch.
Honestly he was basically over his prime at that point.Around 33-34 years old and probably thought if I'm going to play for another few years I want as much money from a team that I can get. 🤔
Let's not forget that in '99 Ewing went down and Sprewell carried the Knicks into the Finals. Those were great times to be a Knick fan. The Garden rocked, and Spree was the man.
Just remember, when you're watching those highlights. Today's fans think it was Jordan and a bunch of garbagemen,plumbers, and mailmen. Sprewell was legit.
Man, I had Spree's Converse sneakers in the 90's. He was so athletic and could contort his body in amazing ways. I did a crazy hezy layup in high school coming under the backboard and reversed it off the glass... I didn't see it go in. Got back down court and my team mates were going nuts. They called out "Sprewell!". That's how much I loved his game. Shame the man couldn't handle his money.
he was really really good. underrated. great defense too. todayso NBA don't have any shooting guards. they r all PG or spot shooter without any defense.
Nothing better than turning on Inside Stuff on a Saturday and having a Spree 2-hander in Jam Session. I wore that #15 Warriors jersey with pride around the casuals at my high school.
Goin' off the hook like Latrell Spreewell I've got the ill technique so you know me well We be kickin' bass, all up in your face And when it comes to beats, well, I'm the rhythm ace
I’m not sure why my head thought back at my first fantasy draft (I was like 13) but his name popped up immediately after and I had to check if you had done a video on him, you’re the man🙏
Bro, love your channel. But, how do you do a Spreewell bio without talking about his NYK finals run? They didn't beat the Spurs but, nor did anyone else that year. In any case, glad to see Spreewell getting some love. Thanks for the video.
I never forgot Spree. He was definitely kray-kray, he had to be restrained in an altercation with his then team mate Byron Houston (same height at 195cm but 25kg heavier!) and threatened to go get a gun! It's a shame that he's remembered for the negative more than the positive, the PJ incident and the falling out with the Minnesota Timberwolves and subsequent bankruptcy, because he was awesome in his prime, and though I am a Spurs fan I admired the Knicks when they met in the Finals and Spree was their small forward at 195cm and 88kg at a time when the league was obsessed with size and physicality. He wasn't just a talented scorer and excellent natural athlete- he had a real killer instinct on defense as well. Apparently he was also somewhat of a practical joker and talented with electronics. So overall a complex individual
When Spree raced down the court on a fast break he was controlled chaos, just like Russell Westbrook. Breathtakingly fast but accurate. I’m disappointed you didn’t show any clips of those fast breaks.
Top 10- Knicks list! Not easy to make!!! Beast mode finisher! 1. Frazier, 2 Reed, 3 Monroe, 4 Ewing, 5 King 6 Bradly, 7 Starks, 8 Oakley, 9 Spree, 10 Houston. Honorable mention for D';Bouchere, Camby, Mason, LJ, Anthony, Stat, Marbury, Crawford, Lee and Barnett - and Jeremy Lin too!
Good job on Sprewell, BTM! With just the little that you highlighted, in this video, you made him look like a possible superstar player and if it wasn't for the incident with the coach, I too believe he could have been a greatly recognize player. There are some coaches that never played NBA, but had possibly played and couched College ball, but some of these coaches needed to be at NBA playing level and they weren't and because they were well supported by the NBA, some took advantage of the players, which weren't in agreement and to keep them in line, they caused the players hardship. Maybe Sprewell had his issue and the coach touched old sores and he let him have it. Of course, the NBA had to step in so that other players would fall in line with the NBA rules. At least New York saw his potential and Sprewell did well after the incident. Thanks, great job!
One of my favourite players of the 90s along side with Robert Horry . Both had a certain aesthetics in terms of how they would move with the ball on the floor. @BTM maybe a future episode about Robert Horry?
Another great video in my opinion spree was like Russ a player that got the rebound and or was on the fast break attacking the rim with force and style. Spree was not afraid of the moment
Man growing up in New York especially in the west side Harlem and the Bronx I will get excited as a kid for the weekends once a month because I will go to every next game that my dad or uncle would take me to And watching him yam the ball with aggression and anger make us hype and you got all in Houston cool demeanor and you got Marcus can be angry block shots I love being the Knicks fan man 🔶🔷🏀 we got Mitch Robinson which is Marcus can be 2.0 and we got RJ Barrett which is latrell sprewell but laid back and we got Julius randle I'm just happy my team is winning again despite all the bandwagon fans 🔶🔷🏀🙌🏾 #NYKFORLIFE
I liked him not only because he was a cool dude but mostly because he had this insane energy, so fast and agile. He was a team player dying for his side and that was always my favorite trait. I always traded him in NBA98 on playstation because his abilities were always higher than his ratings, he was like a cheat in the game.
Spree was the _hit! I grew up in the Bay Area. The Warriors like every team in the NBA they would have two to three guys that could make a All Star team just Nota space to make the first two teams!!! He was a young player that came in and earned his way. Two way players he more than qualified. I think if Timberwolves would have signed him and solidified his contract they could've won a title there. Days of hating, see where they are now!!!
THE LANDLORD! Beast!! Zach Lavine reminds me a lot of him (minus the "D") of course). Short Range, Mid Range, Long Range and he will bring the ceiling down on ya head!
my all-time favorite male athletes/jocks ever are were + or probably will be #1 tied wilt chamberlain + bill russell #2 kareem abdul-jabbar + #3 hakeem olajuwon

I loved Sprees 2 handed dunks. He was vicious.
Yes sir
Hands capable to feed families.
Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!
He had smaller hands. He had to dunk two handed.
@@thenyyrd9025 lol Latrell "two left hand" Sprewell
So many talented players got lost in time if u don't have rings then its just another day in the NBA
So, basically Sprewell was more talented than a Devin Booker for example, or a Trae Young, This goes to show how watered down the league is right now.
@Vain Freeland You can't even believe that bullshit lol and expect to convince other people? lol

If C-webb stayed at golden state both of their careers would've been different.
My favorite player growing up. The angriest dunker of all time!
his 2 handed dunks are legendary, i think it was nba98 live where the intro finish whit his best lol
Live 97 was the best of those games heh heh
Hell yeah 😂 we showing our age
Facts miss those days!
8th seed Knicks EC champs because of this dude. He was the fastest player in the 90s.
Especially from the wing 2 and 3 positions he was fast.
He and Camby were studs with the Knicks.
they point guard was charlie ward and chris childs i felt was the better PG but for some damn favoritism reason Van Gundy starts ward who doesn't defend
Ummm Allan Houston played just as well as spreewell in that playoff run... Hit the buzzer beater to beat Knicks in that 1st round match up
@@stxx1982 that takes away from what spree did how?

My man dunked HARD every time when he was with GS let me tell you I followed his career. He had a signature 2 hand tomahawk
He was a beast back in the day!!
He also rejected 21 million contract from Minnesota and after that nobody offered anything. Infamous - I have the family to feed. He went bankrupt in 2007. Looks like he was a hot head but definitely very attractive player to watch.
the guy was dumb
Yeah, that's not even the worst. He had a long suspension for choking his coach in Golden State
Honestly he was basically over his prime at that point.Around 33-34 years old and probably thought if I'm going to play for another few years I want as much money from a team that I can get. 🤔
@@danjones3402 yeah he made a power move and it was a bad one
Golden State sprewell was a monster
Another Great video! When I was younger there was a version of spinning rims called Sprewells. Did anyone else hear about those?
Oh yeah. It was is family i think
Oh yea I remember those!
He was the first person with spinning rims that’s why they called them sprewells
Your cool
Had a pair. The rims were plastic and they only spun if you flicked them hard
Fantastic player, as far as I know he had a stellar carrer and only "CHOKED ONCE!
Ha ha ha ha ha
one of most interesting stories was Sprew breaking a leg on his yacht n tryin to HIDE it from the knicks management...
Let's not forget that in '99 Ewing went down and Sprewell carried the Knicks into the Finals. Those were great times to be a Knick fan. The Garden rocked, and Spree was the man.
Spree AND Houston carried them to the Finals
True story sprewell and Webber used to come to Vallejo and buy weed from my uncle when They were on the warriors
Just remember, when you're watching those highlights. Today's fans think it was Jordan and a bunch of garbagemen,plumbers, and mailmen. Sprewell was legit.
The nba had a ring crisis when spree was playing. Every ring he dunked on had to see a shrink for months after because he dunked it.
That!
Hard!
Man, I had Spree's Converse sneakers in the 90's.
He was so athletic and could contort his body in amazing ways.
I did a crazy hezy layup in high school coming under the backboard and reversed it off the glass... I didn't see it go in. Got back down court and my team mates were going nuts. They called out "Sprewell!".
That's how much I loved his game.
Shame the man couldn't handle his money.
He was fantastic. Enjoyed watching him play. Underrated.
he was really really good. underrated. great defense too. todayso NBA don't have any shooting guards. they r all PG or spot shooter without any defense.
Sprewell was one of two favorite players on my Knicks. I loved watching him play.
Speedwell was a beast, I never forgot him.
Nothing better than turning on Inside Stuff on a Saturday and having a Spree 2-hander in Jam Session.
I wore that #15 Warriors jersey with pride around the casuals at my high school.
Goin' off the hook like Latrell Spreewell
I've got the ill technique so you know me well
We be kickin' bass, all up in your face
And when it comes to beats, well, I'm the rhythm ace
I’m not sure why my head thought back at my first fantasy draft (I was like 13) but his name popped up immediately after and I had to check if you had done a video on him, you’re the man🙏
I love Spreewell!!!! He was an awesome All Around player!!!!!!!
Bro, love your channel. But, how do you do a Spreewell bio without talking about his NYK finals run? They didn't beat the Spurs but, nor did anyone else that year. In any case, glad to see Spreewell getting some love. Thanks for the video.
He and Marcus Camby got the Knicks to the finals as an 8th seed. One of the most underrated players of all time.
SPREE WAS THAT DUDE!!!! I wore 15 in EVERY SPORT because of him!!!!
What an amazingly fast player. One of the best duting the '90s. Thanks for this video as I didn't know about this devastating -as it seems- incident..
I never forgot Spree. He was definitely kray-kray, he had to be restrained in an altercation with his then team mate Byron Houston (same height at 195cm but 25kg heavier!) and threatened to go get a gun!
It's a shame that he's remembered for the negative more than the positive, the PJ incident and the falling out with the Minnesota Timberwolves and subsequent bankruptcy, because he was awesome in his prime, and though I am a Spurs fan I admired the Knicks when they met in the Finals and Spree was their small forward at 195cm and 88kg at a time when the league was obsessed with size and physicality.

Apparently he was also somewhat of a practical joker and talented with electronics. So overall a complex individual
One of my favorite players. He played with so much energy and passion!!
Awesome vid. Spree was my fav player growing up and the reason I’m a warriors fan 💯
Fav ball player of all time.
When Spree raced down the court on a fast break he was controlled chaos, just like Russell Westbrook. Breathtakingly fast but accurate. I’m disappointed you didn’t show any clips of those fast breaks.
I think Russie is a very accurate comparison.
I always love hearing that "Spreeeee gor three 👌👌👌"
i was happy when spree got to NYK he was a heck of a player and only reason to watch the warriors back in mid 90s.
Do detlef schrempf please. I had his card as a kidx and i remember on the back, it looked like he.had a metal finger
Sprewell belongs in the Hall of Fame
Spree will always be a Knickerbocker.. He never let us down and he fought hard every step of the way.....
What a great player.
Pure Talent for talent in my opinion he was above MJ or Kobe ... Hes like AI in a 6’6 frame
One of the best and in nba live I had him on a tear every play
Sprewell is my second favorite player all time only behind The Reign Man
Great video 💯
Pure raw energy!! Spree for three!
Top 10- Knicks list! Not easy to make!!! Beast mode finisher! 1. Frazier, 2 Reed, 3 Monroe, 4 Ewing, 5 King 6 Bradly, 7 Starks, 8 Oakley, 9 Spree, 10 Houston. Honorable mention for D';Bouchere, Camby, Mason, LJ, Anthony, Stat, Marbury, Crawford, Lee and Barnett - and Jeremy Lin too!

one of my favorite ever
Loved spree great player loved when he was a Knick
Finally, he was 1st team All-Nba after Jordan's first retire
With no video game Jordan, he was my Jordan in the early 90's NBA Live.
Another great video in my opinion spree was like Russ a player that got the rebound and or was on the fast break attacking the rim with force and style. Spree was not afraid of the moment
Talented as he was, you got to keep your hands of the coach and that guy who threw a soda at you.

Great Video
Great video
IT WAS ABOUT TIIIMMME!!!!👏👏👏💪🏀💪🏀👏👏👏
No mention of him pioneering spinning rims? Dude was a stud on and off the floor man
If you can guard Michael Jordan you belong in the Hall of freaking Fame
HE WAS VEEEERY GOOD
Latrell was Samuel Jackson in a basketball uniform 🤣
And you didn't even MENTION his inventing of spinning car rims! ;) LEGEND.
i remember him for his impulsive plays and very unique hairstyle for a ballplayer
Yooo I had the white and orange spreewell and1 shoes with the lace cover and the 8 in the back
I think this dude started the trend of cornrows in the league and AI made it more popular
You should do videos on Jamal Mashburn, Jerry Stackhouse, Antoine Walker, Allen Houston, Stacey Augman and that's just to name a few.
I liked him not only because he was a cool dude but mostly because he had this insane energy, so fast and agile. He was a team player dying for his side and that was always my favorite trait. I always traded him in NBA98 on playstation because his abilities were always higher than his ratings, he was like a cheat in the game.
Spree a guard 🤔 i remember him in sf position
Spree was one of my favorite players in 90s partly because of those 2-hand dunks on Warriors and partly because he's only one to choke his coach. 🤣
Best comment I've yet to see on BTM 😂.
OWNS IT!
One of my top 10 SG Of all time!!! The Landlord!!!
Definitely in the 90s
He was such an amazing player for the Knicks
Spree was the _hit! I grew up in the Bay Area. The Warriors like every team in the NBA they would have two to three guys that could make a All Star team just Nota space to make the first two teams!!! He was a young player that came in and earned his way. Two way players he more than qualified. I think if Timberwolves would have signed him and solidified his contract they could've won a title there. Days of hating, see where they are now!!!
Molded SO MUCH of my game besides and behind HIM!!!!
When Jordan went to play baseball, spree was the man during that two years
Wow I know it's a coincidence but last week on your video I requested Latrell Spreewell
i grew up in the bay area, and it was spree for 3 all day
Sprewell the gOAt for chocking out his coach PJ clarisimo LOL
How good? 2nd, maybe 3rd-tier star. Even in his prime, before the choking incident, he wasn't headed for the Hall of Fame or anything.
Sprewell was that dude back in the day!
Also, I have an idea for yet another Golden State Warrior: Antawn Jamison! That man gets slept on quite a bit!
MY FAVORITE PLAYER AND WARRIOR OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
Would you make a video of Vernon "Mad Max" Maxwell ? He was one of the toughfest players in the Nba. Greetings from Serbia.

yea minus the D.. today's players dont play defense.
I was so very happy when we got homeboy hw was a good Knick
