Latrell Fontaine Sprewell è un ex cestista professionista americano che ha giocato per i Golden State Warriors, i New York Knicks e i Minnesota Timberwolves durante la sua carriera di 13 anni nella National Basketball Association (NBA). Durante la sua carriera, Sprewell ha ricevuto quattro convocazioni all'NBA All-Star Game, una selezione nell'All-NBA First Team e una selezione nell'NBA All-Defensive Second Team. Ha aiutato i Knicks a raggiungere le NBA Finals del 1999 e ha portato i Timberwolves alle finali della Western Conference del 2004. La carriera di Sprewell fu oscurata da un incidente avvenuto nel 1997, in cui strangolò e prese a pugni l'allora allenatore dei Warriors, P. J. Carlesimo, durante un allenamento, il che portò a una sospensione di 68 partite.

Lo Sapevi?
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.
