"AH, MY HEART BREAKS FOR THIS MORON"

@ 02:09 PM (21 months, 20 days ago)

I'll let you in on a little secret, I am still paying on my student loan!

So, when I read that former National Basketball Association standout, Latrell Sprewell had fallen on hard times, "I Broke Out Laughing." I mean, here we have an idiot who was making "Mad Money," the kind of money that we can only dream about. And what does he do, he turns down a three year, twenty-one-million dollar contract, saying, "I've Got My Family To Feed." What the hell does his family eat, "Platinum Meals?"

To tell me that seven million dollars a year was not enough is ludicrous. Especially when you look at what he now has, which is essentially nothing. Reports say his home is now in foreclosure, and that he had to sell his "Yacht." Would someone please tell me what did Latrell Sprewell need a yacht for? Chances are the nitwit couldn't swim anyway. See, this is what is wrong with people like Latrell Sprewell. The Lord blesses them with money beyond the average person's wildest dreams, and what do they do? They spend their money on things like yachts, "bling, bling, cars, etc."

These people spend money like there is no tomorrow. And when they are told that they are flat broke, "they blame their accountant." They never consider that the big ticket items that, "They Just Had to Have, Cost A lot Of Money."

As an African-American, I will never understand the mindset of the Latrell Sprewell's of the world. They have to show the world their riches. What about "Saving Some Of Your Money?" Or, here is another novel idea, "What About Investing Some Of Your Riches? No way, these guys have to impress others with their fancy cars, homes, jewerly, etc. They never stop and look at some of their White teammates, who aren't spending their money like a lunatic. Am I generalizing? No, I am not. I have seen this behavior ever since I was a child. The ones who engage in this extravagant spending, end up broke, nine times out of ten. It is just common sense. If you keep spending more than you are bring in, eventually the gravy train will break down. Duh!

There is no reason for Latrell Sprewell to be penniless. The man played "Thirteen Seasons In The NBA." During that time he was a "Four Time All-Star." This guy made millions! Am I to feel sorry for this idiot? Don't make me laugh!

The guy who purchased Sprewell's yacht must be laughing his ass off. He paid 856-thousand dollars for this vessel at an auction in Milwaukee, Sprewell's home state. The yacht named, "Milwaukee's Best," was valued at "1.5 Million-Dollars." Now, that was not a bad investment. This guy is probably saying, "Thanks Spree."

By the way, Latrell Sprewell is the same guy who "choked his coach, P.J. Carlesimo, during a practice game in 1997." Remember that episode?

There are other stories like Latrell Sprewell's in America. These guys think they are so smart when they are riding high. The only people who can give them any advice is the guy who is selling them their next "Diamond Cuff Links, Or Their Next Escalade."

Latrell Sprewell, is a case study on why it is so important to finish college. I said finish college: Not just go to college. Would you believe that you can go to college, but never "Attend College?"

Latrell Sprewell was apparently one of those who just "went to college."

Oh well, there is always "McDonald's." He can "Dunk, Big Macs."

  1. Last time I went to an NBA game I caught the Wizards like 10 years ago - the seats were like 100 bucks - nosebleeds with partially obstructed views. I sorta lost interest.

  2. With the meager talent out there, they couldn't give me a ticket. There were teams from the old ABA thirty five years ago, that could beat the top team in the NBA today.

  3. Who cares about that spoiled twerp? My heart breaks for Muhammed Ali, one of the great Americans stricken by a horrible disease.

  4. I for one couldn't care less about "Latrine Sprewell." He had the money and blew it. Let's keep it moving. I met Muhammad Ali before his disease took control. I have pics and an interview. Wonderful man! And the "Greatest Heavyweight" to lace on a pair of boxing gloves.

  7. He was a real patriot - standing up to that bogus war and refusing to go:smile:

  8. It took courage to do what he did. He rolled the dice. The man could have lost everything. It shows that he was sincere in what he believed in.

  9. If some boxer today was to duplicate his actions and defy a draft for Iraq - Barry would call for his head. :lol:

  10. I think it would depend on the circumstances. If it is some lib who is too afraid to fight for his country, I would be the first to "call for his head." However, if it is someone who has strong convictions against a war, and can prove that he is not trying to "skate," I would support him. Notice, I said "Him," in the even there is a draft, congress has passed legislation that would protect women from the draft. That's something that they got right.

  14. I can tell you that it is a real honor to have several photos of me and the Champ. The man is a "Class Act."

  18. Yah, those guys were great, weren't they. I remember spending Saturdays watching them play their nemesis, "The Washington Generals." Now, that was funny! Did those guys ever score a point on the Globetrotters?

  19. I just saw the Harlem Globetrotters on TV a weekend or so ago. They're still very entertaining.

  20. Chances are they could be many of today's NBA teams! That's how bad the talent is in the NBA.
