Highlights Sprewell received fame the minute he stepped on the court. He earned All Rookie team honors his first year. He would also become a three time allstar and the only 2- guard besides Michael Jordan to win All NBA 1st Team honors from 1984-1998 |
|
Sprewell entered this league as a defensive stopper but has developed offensively into the most talented shooting guard/ small forward in the NBA. He is often regarded as the league's best finisher. |
Disaster Sprewell fell from glory early in the 1997-1998 season. With Golden State playing poorly Sprewell made a mistake and choked his coach P.J. Carlesimo. Sprewell was suspended for the remaining 68 games of the 1997-1998 season. |
|
Revival Sprewell's career took a turn for the good when his contract was reinstated and he was traded to the New York Knicks. In a major city like New York Sprewell took national attention and has lead the Knicks from the eight seed in the playoffs to the finals. Sprewell is a admirable as player and as a person. Pretty soon the world will know the "American Dream" as he is ready to inherit Mike's throne. |
