Latrell was a Talented ball player, he got branded as a hood rat, because of his hairstyle, and he couldnโt rise from that hate, like Iverson overcame and actually had America acceptance of his thug appeal
Thats funny because I always pictured it going down like Dylan choking out Wyclef on that Chappelle skit "You too close, you too close!" ๐๐๐๐
Donโt be fooled by propaganda what the media donโt show Spree was averaging 24 6 and 5 Joe was nearly 20 & 10 obviously they wasnโt MJ and Scottie but they wasnโt no scrubs . IYKYK. The league is politics.
PJ was how white coaches were in Jersey back then. It was all about their careers, even in HS so that's how they thought they had to control black talent because, the private and Catholic school basketball run system ball and were basically mills for out of state paid kids. Tons of true hoopers didn't put up with it while kids that couldn't touch them went D 1
Joe Smith: Norfolk,Virginia 1st overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft Allen Iverson:Newport News/Hampton,Virginia 1st overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft 20 minutes away from each other
๐๐๐ next best Tandem ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ๐๐๐๐ Yall didnโt even make the west playoffs for the last 3yrs leading up to that incident ๐
You & Spree were legit ball players but bro GS Suckedโผ๏ธ๐๐๐ stop it .. PJ was tryna shake things up and go a different approach โฆ Iโm not goin say it worked ๐๐๐ but damn yall was even gettin to the playoffs
Both Spree and Joe ended up broke. Nasty work. I saw a GoFundMe a year ago, where Spree was asking for $50K, so his granddaughter could get a surgery. Respect he put his ego aside to try to secure the bag, for his grand baby .
Spree tried to face down them folks over a contract dispute and never played again. In my opinion, he was definitely worth more than the $7M/yr he was being offered in 2000s money. Probably felt after all that time, he should still feel grateful to be in the NBA, after choking PJโs bytch azz out.
I knew a dude who played HS ball with a cat who went to Seton Hall, when PJ coached there. Said he was an ultra azzhole with a horrible temper. Spree was still cooking dudes who made more, when he played in Minnesota. He wasnโt in his prime anymore, but he could still give you 15/16 ppg and high energy.
PJ Carlesimo thought he was running a plantation and he had to break Spree like Toby. He had that same mindset as Bobby Knight. At least Bobby was smart enough to stay in college coaching kids.
