Way back in 2004, Latrell Sprewell once turned down a $21.4 Million Contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves because it wasn’t enough to feed his family. That decision would haunt him as he would never play in the NBA again.
Those funds could be needed today as the former NBA all-star is desperately asking the public to donate $35,000 to his GoFundMe to help his sick granddaughter. Sprewell made over $100 million in his career.
Via GoFundMe:
