U DECIDE FOR YOURSELF...I RATHER BE CHASING A RING AND GETTING MILLIONS COMPARED TO SPREE


Former NBA star Latrell Sprewell is the latest professional athlete to run into post-career financial problems. Several websites are reporting the retired basketball star has blown through his fortune.

“During the course of his career, Latrell Sprewell made over $100 million. Today, Celebrity NetWorth reports that he has around $50,000 and lives in a modest rental,” said Financial Juneteeth.

Sprewell’s retirement has been filled with as much bad PR and brushes with the law as his playing career. His daughter was attacked by one of his pit bulls, and he was accused of stealing by a junior college. He was investigated by police for choking a woman on his yacht and also sued by the mother of his four children for $200 million.

Sprewell had several financial problems after he retired. His $1.5 million yacht was seized after he defaulted on a mortgage, and he had two homes foreclosed.

When did Spree ever make a 100 million. I cant stand these so-called professionals who actually publish this lie.

I guess athletes dont pay taxes.

and in david west career he's made over 75 million... and still has most of it :wow:


dude is one of the smartest in the nba with money

Since the start of his NBA career, West has been in firm control of his financial destiny, pre-planning a path to fiscal stability that began with his selection by the New Orleans Hornets with the 18th selection in the 2003 draft.

“When I came in the NBA 13 years ago, on Day 1 my financial guy and I treated my first year like I would never play another year,” West said. “We treated the second year like I would never play another year of basketball. Third year, too.

Eventually, when he had established himself as one of the better power forwards in the league, West began thinking strategically about the end of his career.

“At that point, I’m saying when we get toward the end, let’s keep being strategic and the last few years I’ll be able to make the decisions solely based on basketball, nothing else,” he said. “I think that’s just forward thinking. There are a lot of people making a whole lot less than we make that live comfortable lives so I’ve always kept that in perspective. So when it came down to year 13, knowing you’ve got more yesterdays than tomorrows, you say, ‘Take the money off the table … where do you want to go play some good basketball? San Antonio.’”

no doubt some woman is the major reason spree is broke. getting married or having a kid basically means they get to leech for life off of you.

i wonder why he didnt sign with anyone just because he thought the last offer wasnt high enough ? he had to realize, ok, well i wont get any more than this so let me go ahead get this bread before i call it quits.
