For Old Time’s Sake: Latrell Sprewell

SPREEEEEEEEEEEEE. This dude was fierce. His emphatic dunks remind of KMart’s, just more hops. Outside of the choking fiasco and pleading poverty after being offered $21 million, Sprewell had a lot to offer on the basketball court. He was a paralyzing defender, fantastic in the open floor, and a great finisher. He helped lead the Knicks to the Finals in ’99 and was a 4x NBA All Star. His best season statistically was with Golden State in ’96-’97 when he posted averages of 24.2 pts, 6.3 assists, 4.6 rbs, and 1.7 stls. Spree was also a vital part of the And1 NBA crew back in the day. Shout out to Nick for the videos below.

    I too remember playing with Sprewell and he being unstoppable in the game. He is one of my favorite players ever.

    Ah, back when Cam’Ron (K!lla Cam) actually rhymed…

    Slam should do a “Where are they now?” list once this is over. I’m sure it wouldn’t take Slam writer’s long to find a humorous headline for Latrell Sprewel.

    we need a mention of Joes VS Pros. Last night they had JR Rider, Chris Mullin and Kenny Smith on it. They still dominated even though Rider was fat, Mullin played no D and Kenny was busy talking shat.

    Damn he looked hurt as hell in that second vid. Too bad he didn’t sign that contract with minnesota and bowed out gracefully. he is one of the most explosive skinny dunkers I’ve ever seen.

  • Supreme_Steve

    I remember his signature Dada Sneakers was wack! The only sneaks that I’ve seen with wheel spinners on them.

    Ostertag threw the most amazingly bad pass at 1:15. Oh, Greg…

  • PlanetAsia14

    Best EMPHATIC dunker of all time. (Followed by Josh Smith, Gerald Wallace, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady (back in Orlando,) etc.

  • PlanetAsia14

    By the way, his double handed emphatic jam is the $hit, classic as always. Dude was just nasty when he did that dunk especially, I loved it.
