Sprewell, 34, described the team's latest offer, reported to be worth between $27 million and $30 million over three years, as ''insulting.''Sprewell has always been a jerk of the highest order.
There really is no reason to watch the NBA since they certainly don't play basketball anymore.

Thugball players ruined the NBA, IMO. I haven't had much interest since Jordan retired the 2nd time.Exactly. I use to be the biggest basketball fan, following every thing down to who was coming out of H.S. into college (remember those days). Then it turned into all about being a gangsta or thug. NBA got mixed in with the hip-hop lifestyle, and haven't watched since.
Plus the fact these guys have no talent. If I wanted to see games played in the 70 and 80 point range I would go watch the local high school. They come close to that with no shot clocks, and less game time.

One day these thugs are going to wake up to find that the NBA has been taken over by European players who actually know how to shoot the ball.

How anybody can follow the NBA is beyond me...What's an NBA? Is it like that organization that used to play basketball?

I used to workout with Sprewell in the summers in Milwaukee Wisconsin at the local Brown Deer YMCA.
The guy has like 15 cars minimum and several yaughts--- he might not have enough cash to feed his kids after all the crap he buys

Why is there a thread on pro basketball? What a stupid enterprise, thoroughly bankrupt.

I have a fantasy NBA league at FoxSports. I've invited Freepers to join, but it appears there are no NBA fans left. The league is "Free Republic", and the password is "Freep". It's the free basic salary cap game.

I don't know how I could manage on as paltry a sum as 14.6 million,but I'd be willing to try!!!!!

What's an NBA?It's a group who's all-stars are nearly as good as the Puerto Rican national team.

Sprewell said: ''Why would I want to help them win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed.'' Sprewell is due to make $14.6 million this year. Nothing makes me sicker than a athlete who is under contract and doesn't want to fulfil it.

This guy is now and has always been a punk.
All the talent in the world can't make up for being a flawed human being.

It also just occurred to me that Sprewell and Kerry can hang out together and talk about "what might have been."

It's not food that eating up the family budget. It's living a lifestyle that is above his income, gambling, hookers, drugs and all the lowlives that hang around mooching off of him. I stopped watching this crap after Jordan retired.

Sprewell doesn't have families, he's just got a lot of babymommas to support.

Here we go...in slo-mo Video vertigo Test for echo
Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen Camera curves over caved-in cop cars Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperados Clutch at plausible deniability Don't touch that dial We're in denial Until the showcase trial on TV
Here we go...vertigo Video...vertigo Test for echo
Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news Miles of yellow tape, silhouetted chalklines Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity Don't change that station It's a Gangsta Nation Now crime's in syndication on TV
What a show: vertigo Video vertigo Test for echo
Touch and go in slo-mo Video vertigo Test for echo
Some kind of drama live on satellite Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets Clutching at the straws of respectability
Can't do the time? Don't do the crime And wind up in the perp walk on TV

This will surely help his endorsement income. Not!
