Latrell Sprewell appreciation thread.

[WorldWarriors]

I loved Spree. Glad he got a 2nd chance in NYK.

In March 2006, Sprewell was offered contracts by the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs, both of whom were considered at the time to be strong favorites to win the NBA Championship, but Sprewell failed to respond and remained a free agent as the season came to a close.

If the Spurs had signed Spree, do they win another ring?

People would treat the Spurs a lot differently if they had a 3-peat under their belt. 5 rings over 15 years doesn't pack the same punch.

I don't remember what happened in the WC playoffs that year. Who did the Spurs lose to?

It's still a weird story to me. I respect his pride, but he still had another 2 good years left in him. I mean good years, not Mike Miller in Miami years. I would have him retire before that point. How many guys would refuse 5 million dollars, and then later that same year refuse a great chance at a title?

I hope he's doing ok. Didn't seem like the most stable individual. Hope he's not in Stephon Marbury mode.

Spree had mad game and was Alpha AF, mad underrated because of his off court stuff

I was a big Sprewell fan especially when he was with the Warriors. Good defender. Aggressive player. For being a late first rounder he came out of nowhere.

#8 was always one of my favorites. The baseline drive on Kemp. Sweet.

Great slasher and got to the line. Brought attitude to the Knicks. Unfortunately, that attitude turned against the team quickly when it was apparent Ewing's days were over. But he was exciting to watch. He went to Bama with my brother in law.

His best years were in Golden State.
