🏀On December 1, 1997 the Golden State Warriors’ Latrell Sprewell attacked head coach P. J. Carlesimo during a practice in Oakland. When Carlesimo yelled at Sprewell to make crisper passes (specifically asking him to "put a little mustard" on a pass), Sprewell responded that he was not in the mood for criticism and told the coach to keep his distance. When Carlesimo approached, Sprewell threatened to kill him and dragged him backwards by his throat, choking him for 7-10 seconds before his teamma

Latrell Sprewell's career unexpectedly derailed in 2005 when he refused a $21-million three-year contract offer from the Timberwolves, which Sprewell implied would not be enough to feed his children. He was never offered another contract by any NBA team, and never played in the league again. But before 2005, Latrell was an absolute BEAST! He made the All-NBA First Team in his second year in the NBA already. Truly one of the greats... Happy Birthday Spree🔥🔥🔥 | Open Court
