A few years ago, former NBA player (and Milwaukee native) Latrell Sprewell turned down a three-year, $21 million contract extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves, saying, “I’ve got my family to feed.” Perhaps Sprewell shouldn’t have been so quick to dismiss the Timberwolves contract offer, considering the financial difficulties he’s facing. On Tuesday federal judge J.P. Stadtmueller signed a judgment against Sprewell for nearly $613,000, a judgement which comes only months after Sprewell’s River Hills house was foreclosed and his yacht was repossessed and sold at an auction.
No house, no yacht, and now $613,000 in debt…something tells me Latrell Sprewell should have taken that $21 million contract the Timberwolves were offering back in 2004.
What a Jackass!
