Sprewell lets Ego keep Him Away from NBA

Somewhere deep in the heart of Milwaukee, lies Latrell Sprewell.

Yes, Latrell Sprewell is currently residing in River Hills, Wisconsin, and by the looks of things, he won't be moving anytime soon for an NBA title contender, an NBA playoff-bound franchise, or an NBA team for that matter.

Latrell Sprewell, as good a basketball player that he is, still is and always has been letting his ego get the best of him.

The media tried to contact Spree, what happened next was typical of Sprewell.

''Get off my property right now or I'll send someone out there to take your head off!'' Sprewell exclaimed.

So ended the briefest of encounters early Sunday afternoon a few miles north of downtown Milwaukee, the biggest mystery of the NBA season no closer to being explained by the only person who has any of the answers.

Inside the sprawling yellow brick home with the massive wooden jungle gym in the backyard resides the best basketball player in the world without a job, an athlete who could help some team win an NBA championship three months from now if it could just get a reading on whether he's willing and/or able to set aside his shame and lace 'em up for the first time since the Minnesota Timberwolves played their final game last season.

You see, the problem for Sprewell is the mere fact that he's no longer the explosive basketball player he once was.

He turned down a three-year $21-million extension from the Minnesota Timberwolves explaining he had ''a family to feed.'' Sprewell was waiting for the Lakers to pick him up but L.A. and the Wolves failed to agree on a sign-and-trade deal.

That left Latrell Sprewell no choice but to play for the NBA veteran's minimum which happens to be $1 million.
