http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23117644/ court documents, the bank said Sprewell owed $295,138 in outstanding payments plus interest. Sprewell failed to make his mortgage payments of $2,593 per month from September 2007 to January 2008, the documents said. The Associated Press tried to reach Sprewell for comment Monday but a telephone number in his name was disconnected. A message to one of his attorneys, Robert A. Gist of Atlanta, and an agency in New York were not immediately returned. The 37-year-old Sprewell played 13 seasons in the NBA for the Minnesota Timberwolves, the New York Knicks and the Golden State Warriors. The Milwaukee native was a four-time All-Star, but perhaps best known for choking coach P.J. Carlesimo during a Warriors practice in 1997 How in the hell can this guy be broke, you know how much money they make in the NBA. Thats piss poor money management, maybe he should go get a refund from all the strippers he splurged on over his career.
I remember when he was negotiating with Minnesota, he turned down something like $8 mil per year because it wasn't enough, saying "I gotta feed my family".:insane:
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. He is a wonderful representation of what is wrong with many professional sports today - entitlement.
Call me up, dog. I'm a mortgage broker. I'll hook you up!:grin: Seriously though, as a Knicks fan, I used to love Spree. I hope he figures it out and gets back in the swing of things. I wish him the very best.
Can you come and do something about the entire state of California? We need ya! :sob: You can visit Shaq on the way.
