It’s like the Bill Burr standup when he said “I wonder what she did”. There’s always context that leads to an event and the choke didn’t just manifest itself out of nowhere. What PJ did would be constituted as creating a hostile workplace environment and lead to termination in any other workplace.

I was a huge Knicks fan as a kid and loved when Sprewell came to the Knicks. I did not like that certain sportscasters and reporters would never let the incident go. While Carlisimo went on to play victim and became a tv analyst.

The truth is he wasn't that good. He was lazy. His best year he was the 5th best scorer with a 41 percent fg percentage. He wasn't a great rebounder, passer, teammate. He only excelled at causing trouble. He never won a single championship. When your coach yells at you to try harder .. you try harder.. Unless you think you are too good to try harder. No one had to tell Jordan, Kobe or other true greats to try harder. He had many more years in the NBA with other teams and he wasn't great when Carlismo was not there... his stats just kept getting worse. No one remembers him as a great. He could not follow simple rules. JAJAJAJAJA

Gratitude for sharing I had the Sprewell Converse Acropolis. Fam was nice on the court. He was the franchise.

As a longtime Warriors fan, I remember this being the very dark days where it seemed like everything would go wrong. A few years before this incident they had Hardaway, Sprewell, Mullin and Webber, NBA contenders and it all fell apart within a few weeks with Webber getting traded and everybody else getting injured. I had read about this incident so I figured there had to be some sort of build up before a player does that to a coach. While it's wrong, a coach has to earn the respect of the team and apparently that wasn't the case here.

Thanks for posting this. I've never heard the actual story before. Nuance can add much more to even long-held opinions, lol. Thanks again.

Waited my whole life to hear this.

I live in San Antonio and used to be a chef at a restaurant PJ use to frequent. I can confirm he is an a**hole. He treated the servers like shit and didnt tip for shit. He brought in a whole 15 top of college kids. Got the meal free from the owner and still left a shitty tip.

6:07 Felton Spencer: RIP

I remember when Sprewell and I got into it in practice at Golden State! He was a great guy and fierce competitor.

We finally get the other side of the story! Thank You!

Its good to listen to such an intelligent guy like Brian Shaw

I ALWAYS wanted to know more about this!

When Sprewell was on and mentally into the game, it was poetry. I've never seen aggression meet finesse like that.. then and now. And he was a legitimate 2 way player. Legitimate, expend bulk energy on the best perimeter player then go and do some damage on offense. Fastest guy in the League. Dialed-in, prime '93, bald head, 1st Team Sprewell was on another level. What makes me lose my mind: Tim Hardaway recently said Sprewell never practiced in the off-season. He only worked during the season and then disappeared back home. He was a natural at this game.

And Sprewell didn't have a left hand and was STILL giving buckets 😂

@@keithmurray3827 To this day I still don't how this happens. The man made 1st team all NBA and 2nd team all defense. Scouting on him was make him dribble left. One of the most interesting players ever to pass through.

Nice. Always wanted to know more about this. Those players were done dirty in the aftermath. Them Union LA 4's are fire P.

That went beyond coaching and spilled into challenging one's manhood. Was it wrong to attack him physically? Yes, but PJ provoked the situation all the way

​@johnnguyen6469 a person who tries to provoke another doesn't belong in a civilized society. Wanna play victim...smfh

Them 90s OGs built different. Not scared of anything, that's how to played and approached the game. Reason why they played more defense and not scared of the physicality

Explained very well. Wonder why more of these things don't happened?

Because players can afford $500 x 41 games ($20500) but they cannot afford to lose their entire salary and livelihood...that's why it doesn't happen more!

Shaw is 24 years older than George, but he looks younger than PG13😂

Great story tellin

Great story about Spree, one of my fav players from his time with Knicks

I'll never forget the Warriors promotional slogan for that season - No More Mr. Nice Guy! 🤣 The Warriors were a horribly run organization back then until Cohan sold the team and this story just helps prove that.

I respect these brothers standing up for they brother... That's how we all need to be...

Can't keep poking the bear. From the beginning, it always sounded like the whole picture wasn't being shown to the public.

You do know sprewell was a 3× time All Star with Golden State warriors before the Knicks he was Arguably the 2 best SG in the Entire NBA from 93-97💥

I remember when PJ Carlesimo was a College coach , he was a little rough & abrasive like a lot of college coaches back then. But he made a mistake bringing a "College Coach" attitude to a Grown Man's League called the NBA. These dudes weren't going to school , weren't worried about losing a scholarship , weren't worried about you calling their parents. These were grown men with kids to feed & when you speak to a grown man the way he spoke to Sprewell , you better damn well expect to get yanked up real quick. That's called reality.

Great episode. First Time I’m hearing the full story. I was 12/13 when that happened. Don’t condone violence but the solidarity of the players says everything.

Sounds like a good ole boys club back then…

Shaw is a really good storyteller. 👍

Thanks Brian, always figured there was more to this story then we heard

This is great, I am a die hard warriors fan, and Latrell was my favorite player. When that came out I was distraught. It’s nice to hear the full story.

Sprewell with Wu Tang in his headphones is a crazy combo
