Latrell Sprewell appreciation thread.

That video was a two foot dunk

He had one of the best two foot take offs ever IMO.

My point was basically that I always thought of him as a one foot type of dunker because of the dunk that I described, since it's not the norm to jump off of one foot. It just gives me that POV, but he's still definitely a great two feet jumper.

It's just hard to explain what I mean. Because I just realized that it sounds as if I'm saying that he only jumps off of one foot. I just mean that when I think of Sprewell dunking I think of that one foot dunk, because it sticks out the most to me, while the two foot dunks, while more common, it's more fundamental so I don't think anything of it.

Why blame it on Ewing? Marcus Camby was putting up similar numbers to Ewing and led the finals in win shares. Spreewell simply choked when it mattered the most.

Dude had some serious game.

His hop step into a pull up jumper was lethal.

Spree at his best was a freak athlete capable of playing and defending PG, SG, and SF. Good for 24 a night while providing lockdown caliber defense. In terms of two-way SG's, I think Sprewell has a case in the top 10-top 15 of all time. U got guys like MJ, Kobe, West, Wade, Moncrief, Dumars, and Ginobli. From there, Spree's name HAS to come up very soon. And another sleeper two-way SG from Spree's era was Eddie Jones!

He was a great slasher and got to the line. Got the fans excited for one year. I loved his attitude. How he and Houston meshed, I'll never know.

Those '99 Knicks were one of the best story line ever in my opinion, so much fun to watch led by Houston, Spree and Camby, so much fight and so much heart.

A privilege to watch as a new york fan. I was proud of my team despite losing in those NBA finals

Word.

LOCK DOWN defender.

Explosive on offense. Underrated.

Yes. Top 10 total game. D was remarkable. Fearless.

Sprewell was pretty much the second best 2-guard in the league for a while there in the 90s

If Ewing in his prime had either Spree or Houston, OR BOTH... Ewing would have ATLEAST 2 rings and many would say he would be better than Olajuwon and Robinson and = to shaq. Oh well

Spinners were a definitive trend of 2000s hip-hop, and they even found their way onto sneakers thanks to Latrell Sprewell and Dada. Sprewell started a brand that made spinning rims for cars and his sneakers sported the same rotating car part. What's even crazier is that Dada was willing to invest in Sprewell and make him the face of their brand even after he had choked out his coach, P.J. Carlesimo, in 1997.
