Latrell Sprewell: Another Foreclosure

Cherie Burbach — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:48:24 +0000

The real estate market has been tough for all of us, especially NBA star and Milwaukee native Latrell Sprewell, who is facing foreclosure on his home in Milwaukee. He hasn’t made a mortgage payment since November and the bank (Harris National Association) is pushing for foreclose on the $920,000 loan. The home, located on E. Hampshire Street in Milwaukee, is described as “a 5,200-square-foot, 70-year-old mansion with six bedrooms and four fireplaces. It is assessed at nearly $1.1 million.”

This isn’t the first time Sprewell has encountered financial troubles. His home in River Hills, a Milwaukee suburb, has been foreclosed on twice. In 2008, he also stop making payments on a yacht.

Five years ago Sprewell made headlines for refusing a “three-year, $21 million contract offer” which he thought was insulting. He spent 13 years in the NBA and retired in 2005.

10 Guys Who Need a Valentine’s Day Hug

Jodie Lynn Boduch — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 16:39:21 +0000

Love is in the air this week, so here are 10 people in the sports world in need of a hug. Maybe they’ve had a rough year, maybe the public doesn’t like them, or maybe they’ve had one too many SpongeBob-made Crabby Patties–whatever the reason, Cupid made us do it.

Mike Gundy The rant heard ’round the Internet last fall made him a target of both support and ridicule.

Trent Green The 2007 QB for the Miami Dolphins just got canned. Ouch! This makes him the fourth consecutive quarterback on the team’s chopping block.

A-Rod We need to qualify this one, given our Red Sox loyalty: This guy needs a hug from Yankees fans (not us) . . . he’s not exactly a crowd favorite come October.

Joe Torre Yeah, the former Yankee skipper landed on his feet with the LA Dodgers, but we still think the Steinbrenners treated him worse than a half-blind umpire.

Bill Belichick We don’t care what color hoodie he’s wearing, we have a soft spot for the guy. The same can’t be said for the press and public outside New England.

Latrell Sprewell When an ex-NBA star’s home is in foreclosure and his yacht is sold at auction, you know he’s seen better days.

Barry Bonds Imagine being the Homerun King and being regarded as a bum rather than a hero? He made his own bed, but boy . . . we wouldn’t want to be Barry.

Roger Clemens Sure, we’ve had a blast poking fun at him, but did you ever stop and think . . . what if he’s not guilty?

Braydon Coburn This defenseman for the Philadelphia Flyers is sidelined with a torn buttock artery. Need we say more?

And finally, ESPN anchor and YouTube sensation Chris Berman, who’s had some bad days at the office lately (1m, 22s, adult language):
