It depends , my salary is $55k . If I was to say I struggle to feed my family when my bills and outgoings are high then people on welfare would be like how ? Most of these guys are like regular people they earn more but they spend it all the same instead of an Audi or bmw they have rolles Royce’s and instead of a 200k home they have a 30 million home etc
It was poorly worded but not nearly as awful a comment as people make it out to be. He helped get the T-Wolves to #1 in the West (an enormous feat for them) & was expecting much more $ than that. His comment was simply hyperbole.
I love these video, Some other player i would suggest adding to this list is Kevin Garrnett, Pat bev, John stockton, draymond green, james harden, kobe bryant, zaza petulia, dennis rodman, ron artess, kevin durant, kyrie erving, ben simmons, and isaiah thomas
I think Sprewell's career peaked when he was playing in New York. He was way more popular than he ever was in Golden State and the Knicks were in some deep playoff runs. His role was no longer the go-to guy but the Knicks' perimeter defender and fast break specialist. Unfortunately I think he was never apologetic about hitting PJ Carlesimo, and it seems to be a trait shared among many volatile players...
He was my favorite player as a young knicks fan. An absolute lunatic but that run to the finals when I was in high school was awesome. The spurs were too good but just getting there was about as good as it gets for a knicks fan lol
There was also an incident in 1994 when Sprewell's four-year-old daughter was mauled by one of his two pet pit bulls and Sprewell fought against the dog being destroyed. That's right, he cared more about the welfare of his dogs than his own daughter's safety.
This is a really interesting series, if they aren't already on your mind to do Zaza Pachulia, for i mean it's in your intros not really having much talent but out there to injure others or Vlade Divac floping. I don't have really any incidents to bring up but they overall for their time in the league seemed to be really hated.
You got this all the way wrong. PJ had a reputation of being racist, and berating players in practice. PJ is hated by many players and personnel around the game. Latrell is LOVED by many basketball fans especially from that era.
Your vids are getting better and better. I had pretty much forgotten about Spree. If anyone remembers him now, it’s because of the PJ incident. This episode brought all of his many dramas back. Thanks!
Naw Spree know fa way mo den Dat especially n Tha Town!! Where u think Tha spinners/Sprewells took off from I remember having his Converse shoes dey was Saucy. N I think Spree mighta had his braids b4 A.I. so Latrell was definitely off Tha hook.
Even Mike was saying it like: "Damn. I didn't even know that you could DO that." I think Spree choked out his career that day! Malik Sealy and Earvin Johnson were better Timberwolves.
@@fuckingloser2817 Both players got that, yes. It's just Tyreke technically allowed himself to return to the NBA system with the Wisconsin Herd appearance he did, while O.J. Mayo still hasn't returned yet.
Make 100,000,000 dollars in his 13 year career. 6 years it's gone. OK. He is now worth 150,000. The average Joe has to work 50 years to make 2 million total. Sprewell was making 7+ million a year. He was making ceo type wages. 175 times the average Joe and he has nothing now. Wow. I think he might have done something wrong. It's not his fault of course. It's society's fault.
0:30 Eddie Johnson is deceased, unfortunately. Not to be confused with the GOOD Eddie Johnson (take note, Chicago Tribune), who played with the Phoenix Suns, also with the Seattle Sonics, and then the Charlotte Hornets and Houston Rockets.
I've always had a love/hate thing for Spree. Not a great defender. Strong offensive player. Poor attitude that makes brothas look bad. He did things like breaking his hand in a fight at his yacht then lying about it, then choking his coach cuz he didn't like what he heard. To be honest, as much as I appreciate what he brought to the Knicks when he was there, he deserved to no longer get any love from the league. He had the nerve to actaully think he was worth more than 7M/year. Good riddance, Spree.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. Gary Payton should be on your list. I loved Payton and Kemp, in 1993-96. But, after Kemp sabotaged the team, and then finding out years later that Gary Payton had a problem with EVERY teammate, I realized what a prick he was! He made Rashard Lewis cry during practice, for starters. It's one thing to have problems with teammates like Kendall Gill, Vincent Askew, Ricky PIerce, and Frank Brokuwski. But, when Hersey Hawkins (Hersey Hawkins!), Nate McMillan, and Sam Perkins (Sam Perkins!) come out later, and say that they did NOT enjoy playing with Gary Payton, that proves that PAYTON was the problem! I rooted for the 2005-06 Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA Finals, because I did NOT want Gary Payton and Jason Williams to win rings!
Pre Steph Curry in 09, the Warriors always drafted so well, then blew it by letting them go. The drafted Chris Webber and Gilbert Arenas and basically lost them for nothing
@@julianbell9161 we also could’ve drafted Vince Carter…and I would’ve much rather had Penny than C Webb…the Warriors drafted like trash….you remember Dunleavy, Joe Smith and Antawn Jamison?
He apparently isn't stupid, while being an idiot. He appears to be literate and cultured, and having been taking care financially of more than a dozen relatives. But he refused to take anger management courses when asked to back in the day.
Lol, the curse of Sprewell. Ownership and management over the years have nothing to do with it, they have the ghost of Sprewell haunting them. I saw the Knicks play in San Antonio one time, can't remember what year, Sprewell was by far the most energetic and best player on the court that night. Hope the curse didn't rub off on me, but it sure left an impression. Man had an edge to him, but the man could ball.
Buddy u wrong ta say dat after he blessed P.J. with da hands of 💘 n 20plus points Dat he fell off. Spree might notta been as good in NYC as he was n Oakland but he was da most popular player n Tha NBA from 99-01. Dats why he was maad cuz dey cashed Houston out n left him n cold 🥶 NBA terms.
Jus think if dey had cameras back den!! N Greg Papa brought up da checking incident when he asked P.J.what happened ta your neck n PJ said I was shaving tryna brush it off,. Den Greg Papa said it looks like somebody tried ta ring yo neck, den OJ spilled da beans dey were tryna keep it in house 🏠 as well!!
Turn down 20 million dollars arguing you "have a family to feed" is still one of the craziest statements I've ever heard.

Walt Frazier used to rip him on Knicks broadcasts, calling out his "matador defense".

Latrell is loved???
Spree was a silly goose, but I enjoyed his time with the Knicks. He really played hard and did a good job.
A thilly goothe

I like your work. You move along, you don't repeat yourself, the footage matches the narrative. Your opinions seem well balanced.
These Videos are outstanding! Keep it up!

another great vid keep it up

First one you’ve gotten right so far. Straight up thug
Great content man. Subbed👍🏻
Spree was so good. Wish webber stayed in golden state they were a blast to watch together.
4:33 O.J. Mayo having a 164 game suspension?! 🤔
Didn't he get banned for 2 years for doing drugs? Or was that another player?
Him or Tyreke Evans

He was just a misunderstood brother.
If any coach deserved to be choked, it was PJ Carlisimo. What a mouth on that sob.
That’s true, but that’s no excuse.
@@dzanier True. Sprewell a maggot. Did a lot of harm to his family and to the NBA as well. POS...

Lol he's a great defender watch his knocks days he took Vince Carter out of the 2000 series
What are you talking about? Spreewell was a ferocious defender.
I remember when he choked Carlesmo out….smdh….it was the beginning of the end for the warriors…those were dark times as a fan…

Rider and him both jacked of long careers in the NBA both where fun to watch

Sarah Palin fucked Rider...look it up
@@jacob9538lmao jacked "of" not jacked "off"
MJ's the one to talk, he punched Steve Kerr.

Brutal
I quit watching the Knicks when they got Sprewell and one or two other thugs.
8:50 Say it: Deeeeeeee----vorce!! Reeeee------pooooooo!!!
He was an angry, volatile malcontent.
I think the players were enjoying the coach getting choked lol... Took 15 seconds to intervene lol
Being succesfull in sport doesn't protect you from being and idiot, evel and stupid . There are so many examples even nowdays.
He apparently isn't stupid, while being an idiot. He appears to be literate and cultured, and having been taking care financially of more than a dozen relatives. But he refused to take anger management courses when asked to back in the day.
Change the battery in your smoke alarm
He was treamaded to the Knicks and the Knicks have been GARBAGE ever since.
You CANNOT have someone like this on your team at ANY COST.

It’s not sprewell as in sprewell but sprew ell
How about Dennis Rodman?
He was a model citizen.
To be fair I couldn’t feed my family with 20 million either
Better get LeBron on this list. Easily the most hated basketball player ever
I would say the bad boyz Detroit pistons I couldn't stand them still can't
Warriors fan here. Sprewell is a jerk. Hot take, I know lol
Nikola Mirotic plzzz

I loved Spree. conservatives hated him. he was always fucked over by the refs, and let his emotions get hold of him. he was fantastic to watch.
