I am Latrell Sprewell and I will strangle you

I am back. I did not have much to say but I came across something that appealed to me. Realize that I am a student of professional basketball and history so that is the context today. Well, it seems that there is a report out of Milwaukee that Latrell Sprewell is being investigated for sexual assault. He was an NBA player though he did not play last year. He is in his mid 30s and had lost a step. Anyway, he was in a snit because his team, Minnesota, would not pony up 7 Million a season for him to play. Anything less was an insult and how could he feed his family. This was a guy who was "thrown" off the Golden State Warriors for trying to strangle his coach (PJ Carlissimo).

Anyway, the report said that he and a 21 year old female were having consensual sex aboard his yacht (this was the same yacht, on which he threw a punch, breaking his hand, at the face of one of his guests, whose wife had gotten watersick and puked on the yacht) when he began to strangle her. The police allegedly observed red marks on her neck. It is all so clear now, Sprewell was not trying to harm his coach but wanted to sex him up. It was just a bit of foreplay or rough sex. It is all so clear now.

That has to make PJ Carilissimo feel much better. Ciao!
