And isn’t this the dam fool who turned down like thirty million because he said it wasn’t enough to feed his kids? I’ll bet he wish he can get half of that offer today lol.

Just sad! Imagine some people make far less than that but still manage to keep their house and pay their bills!!!!!

I agree with my fellow Trini girl Sam……

Yeah, he is the one who turned down $21 MILLION! He told the Timberwolves it wasn’t enough money to feed his family. No sympathy from this end.

Trifling!

Like Soulja Boy, They are doing what Dave Chappelle in his comedy sketch said instantly rich black folks from the hood would do: Foolishly spending & flossing trying to impress each other & cover the childhood shame & hurt of being poor…all the while giving their wealth right back to the White Man who paid them to began with. There’s no money put away for retirement, medical, etc. They don’t think like this. They rent or won’t pay their bills because they are way over their heads with outrageous vehicles that depreciate in value that comes with Payment, Insurance, Property and Luxury Taxes, every year. Outrageously priced custom-design Hood Jewelry that only they would want to buy or steal from each other & is good for nothing but to be melted before it can be resold. It also depreciates in value & earn no interest. Squandering money foolishly instead of buying a $400,000 home outright with $100K worth of furniture. Money in the bank 3 vehicles, kids college funds, retirement funds, a $150k home for parents, help a few family members get a specialized associate degrees, etc. (UltraSound Techs, Radiology Techs, Dental Hygienist, etc. all make good money) to work & get ahead in life & do for themselves. But these jungle bunnies don’t think that way. They can’t win for losing! $21 Million would have lasted me and my family a lifetime because I would have invested, saved wisely & lived within my means & whereas it would last us a lifetime. Can’t feel sorry for these idiots. Flossing only bring shame in the short-run…you will be found out like SpreeWell, etc.

LOL @ 4Real-tho

Jungle bunnies……lmbo

But ur statements are true though……there are some black ppl (since we’re talking about sprewell…we’ll leave the white folks out) that live to please their childhood friends and bullies or to make other feel less than they really are…but in the end they end up right where they started…..SMH

Latrell get yo money up!

@4Real-tho:

Preach son.

Exactly how many kids does Sprewell have? 50? 21 million (before taxes) should be enough to take care of them for 18 years and pay for a Harvard education.

@ 4Real-tho

I could not have said it better myself!

@4Real-tho

No one gonna’s say it n.e. better than that.

people seem to think that money makes up for intelligence— sorry it don’t. us black folk can’t seem to handle a windfall of that mean green… cause then the ignorance steps in… and after a while its back in the B and B file; [black and broke]… negro’s. we get alittle money and we become unglued.. and the white man is tickled to death.

The property taxes alone are enough to bankrupt someone who is no longer working.

These guys are making BIG BUCKS, but they still need to learn how to live lifestyles that are “affordable” and “sustainable” over the long-term. All these “big ticket” purchases up front keep their wealth from achieving its true “growth” potential and lands them in “the hole”.

@4Real-tho

100% Cosign.

For the most part, it’s expensive to live in Westchester County. Connecticut, too. I was born and raised in those places and have family still living there. My youngest sister pays double in rent on what I pay in mortgage.

I guess yaw think the recession doesent all facades of life… It is not what you made… It is what you make. People dont realize there is insurance / property tax/ monthly maintanence/baby mamas/family/agents/ etc etc with all they hands out…. So dont semise anyone until you make that type of money…. that is why people like jay and puffy so shady…. they know that they have to keo that lifestyle cause when the checks stop coming in and you didnt use it on stocks/bonds/franchise ownership..it goes poof

I dont get this, latrell has always made between $5-$12 mil a year over his whole career! I mean even those ghetto azz spinnin’ rims were nicknamed “spreewells” How could this sh*t happen?

Like Chris Rock said: When black people get some money…it’s the countdown to when they’re gonna go broke!

Not all black people, but a lot of them seem to put us in the stereotype when they don’t pay their bills!

Wow is all I can say. He turned down 21 million? What happened to his Rim shop didn’t have those Sprewell tires named after him?

1.)mean even those ghetto azz spinnin’ rims were nicknamed “spreewells” How could this sh*t happen?

What happened to his Rim shop didn’t have those Sprewell tires named after him?”

In response to these comments…… he patented SPREWELLS… HE HAD HIS OWN WHEEL COMPANY… it had folded after spinnin rims went dead… Also, his rims were extremely high priced which caused knock offs to go crazy with his patented rim….

2.) SPREWELL WHEELS/RIMS….He never had tires….

why would you think white people are tickled to death over this?

Leave Latrell alone. At least he attempted to make investments (his hubcap company). This is not a racial situation but more like a case of another celeb living outside their means and not knowing how to cope with a recession. Everyone, regardless of race is struggling right now IE Nicholas Cage and those who like to live lavishly without a plan are going to get hit hard.

I’ll shed tears for a single mom who lost her job, and has young mouthes to feed, clothe and shelter.

This one?

WalMart needs overnight stockers.

Darling, I have not the slightes bit of pit for the man who turned down millions based soley on greed. Sell off what you can and call it a day darling.
