Latrell Fontaine Sprewell ist ein US-amerikanischer ehemaliger professioneller Basketballspieler, der während seiner 13-jährigen Karriere in der National Basketball Association (NBA) für die Golden State Warriors, die New York Knicks und die Minnesota Timberwolves spielte. Im Laufe seiner Karriere erhielt Sprewell vier NBA All-Star-Nominierungen, eine Nominierung ins All-NBA First Team sowie eine Nominierung ins NBA All-Defensive Second Team. Er verhalf den Knicks 1999 zum Einzug in die NBA Finals und den Timberwolves 2004 zum Einzug in die Western Conference Finals.

Carlesimo während eines Trainings würgte und schlug, was zu einer 68 Spiele andauernden Sperre führte.

Wussten Sie schon?
Sprewell's 1999 Knicks team became the only 8-seed in NBA history to reach the Finals — an improbable run built on grit and Sprewell's electric performances that captivated the basketball world.
Despite his career controversies, Sprewell was one of the most gifted athletes to play his position in the 1990s, combining defensive intensity with 20+ PPG scoring that few wings could match.
His quote 'I have a family to feed' when declining a $21 million extension became one of the most culturally referenced lines in NBA history, transcending sports into broader American conversation.
Sprewell was part of the legendary 2003-04 Timberwolves core alongside Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell — a trio considered one of the most talented to never win a championship together.
