Sprewell was known for his altercation with coach, Carlesimo, whom he fought with and choked. This incident cost him dearly, and he was suspended from NBA for a year and his contract with Golden State Warriors was cancelled. He turned down a twenty seven million dollar, three year contract with the excuse that the money wasn’t enough to feed his family. Shortly afterwards his two million dollar homes were foreclosed.
