After blowing $97M, Latrell Sprewell Asks For 35k To Help Sick Granddaughter!

NBA star is asking fans to donate $35,000 to him so that he can help get treatment for his very sick granddaughter, MTO News has learned. The child has leukemia.

Here’s what Latrell posted on GofundMe.

Hi Everyone My name is Latrell Sprewell yes correct!!! The former NBA player. I am in need My granddaughter is battling cancer. So any donations will help my granddaughter Tessa beat cancer she is very 1 year old and is fighting . Anything will do but I would just like to try to save her life she means the world to me and her mother. Thank you for everyone taking the time to donate. She has been Diagnosed with leukemia.

Latrell had a bunch of mishaps throughout his NBA career. But nothing was as bad as in 2004 when The Timberwolves offered him a $14.6 million extension that could’ve made him amass from $27 to 30 million over the next couple of years – but he decline their offer:

“Why would I want to help them win a title? They’re not doing anything for me. I’m at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed,” Sprewell said back in the day.

He bet on himself and he lost – because he underperformed all year long. Sprewell was expecting the Timberwolves to take their offer up a notch or draw interest from another team in the league, and given his character issues and his age, that just didn’t happen and Latrell Sprewell never played a minute of NBA basketball again.

Then in 2007, he left his wife, and that family he had to feed sued him for $200 million. He lost his yacht, defaulted his $1.5 million mortgage, had to pay over $3 million in taxes, and later lost his other house.
