- As professional athletes coming into any professional sports, you don't get to determine where you will play for the first years of your career. You don't get to pick your coach, teammates, GM or fans like you do in college. Sometimes it works out for you and sometimes it doesn't. Here's an athlete it didn't workout for as of now. Here's 3 reasons why I think their growth was abruptly stunted. Who knows, maybe they'll return to form. I sure hope so. Thank you for watching.

One of your best videos so far... you took the narrative to the next level! Great job!
Thank you bro. 🙌🏾
🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯
Camby was my boy
His signature two hand dunk one of the greatest of all time
Dude I almost died when you were poetically describing Spreewell choking his coach 😂
lol. So did I man. Only we got that humor. Salute to you!
Lol facts I still remember when he did that
@@stuntedgrowth I never knew he went back and punched PJ. I always just knew about the choke. Damn he took a shower and still didn’t calm down. I did have his back then and still do. “Coaching” doesn’t give anyone the right to disrespect anyone. That goes for Popovich also that has a similar “coaching” style.
This guy is a hardcore racist.. listen how he revels in a white coach being choked. The only coach he doesn't shit on in all his videos is John Thompson.
@@dontdoittoyoself6786 Give me a break. You can't go around choking people. He's a thug. I'm glad he's broke
Iverson said at one point, that he'd rather have Sprewells game instead of MJ and MJ said Spree guarded him the toughest
DSG Iverson like the rest of us knew that MJ's game was not attainable. No rocket science. Kobe came the closest.
Mj and vernon maxwell used to go at it.
@DSG Where did MJ say this? That's funny u say that cuz ive never heard Jordan say that. I heard him say Joe Dumars. And ive seen polls that said Rodman when he was a Piston and Gary Payton. Never heard Spreewell as playing good defense on MJ...🤷🏾♂️
@@majwho it was in an interview. He said Sprewell guards me good...and yes he said Dumars but that was early on and Dumars had a team behind him. MJ used to go WILD on the Pistons. His 61 and 59 point games against Joe and the Pistons are more impressive than Kobe's 81 and wilts 100 if you ask me.
@@DatsjoeYT hell yeah MadMax was one them undersized dynamic guards that went at MJ and got in his head but Spree had the length and the endless motor to contain MJ.
His attitude cost him his career
His career was great, just short of Hall of Fame level
Subpar seasons in Minnesota? He helped KG get further than he'd ever been to the point.
True, even at the end of his career he put up decent numbers for his age.
This narrator is off so much,he reminds me of a real analyst. i can tell by the way he just reads over his script, that he didn't follow the career of Spreewell. Comming from Milwaukee, Wisconsin), you have did one of our Most honored and established athletes a great disrespect with this dry and bland content you call watch Worthy.. I vote for cancellation if you continue this .
You can go watch sprees highlights if you don’t like to hear the truth about his bad decisions
He’s a young boy
These videos bring up old demons. I was leading my D1 team in scoring and rebounds then quit during halftime of a game. Went to work stocking makeup then to a NAIA which put me overseas but it was a rocky road smdh. I was never an "All American" but worked my ass off to be as good as I could be. With little to no guidance I made plenty of mistakes. Finally got my degree 26 years later tho💪🏾😁🏀
What on earth made you quit during halftime of a game??
Spree was my favorite Knick. Dude plays angry all the time.
Yeah he reached his potential. He was never that well-rounded of a ballplayer to ever be mentioned with the great ones.
Fuck spreewell he was average at best and then he had the worst fucking shoes ever .... fucking bum......
@@frankrollins564 wow wouldn’t say he a bum
@@frankrollins564 he averaged 20 points 4 rebounds 4 assists over 7 seasons And in 96-97 he averaged 24.2 points per game 5th most. 6.3 assists 18th most 70th in rebounds with 4.6 a game and 21st in steals with 1.7
@@staciemohler4624 he would've had better numbers if he wasn't such a asshole .....he was to talented to act he act....fuck em
Those “Sprewell” Knicks unis were FIRE!!! Lol. Even though Knicks had them before he got there. Just having just about all his Knicks highlights in those outfit makes it so rememberable!
Sup JC just a few things:
1. This page is addictive (in a great way)
2. The music in the background is perfect
3. you hit it right on the money when speaking of these stunted growth ballers
but my favorite part is in the intro when you say "ITS YA BOY JC STUNTED GROWTH ESSSSSSGETTITT!
Ma boy! Thank you man
He gave birth to one of the greatest lines in hip hop. Nature on Nore's banned from Tv.
One of my fave players growing up. Anyone can lose it once. Doesn't negate his achievements.
I still yell Sprewell when I act like I’m choking my homeboys when we’re just bsing around 😂😂😂😂 but he was a really good player
lol! That or Dave Chapelle. "You too close!"
stuntedgrowth 😂😂😂😂 hell yeah
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂really ???
He’s the single reason why I became a Knicks fan he was cold! Him , Houston & Camby was exciting to watch growing up.
Golden state Sprewell was my favorite player..
He was special in golden State
"This Mortal Kombat move" LMFAOO im dead 😂😂
One of my all time favorite players.. if it wasn't for Spree I would never be a huge Knicks fan like I am now 💯
Thank the choking incident
He still a legend here in Milwaukee
Smh he shoulda took that bag cause I’m sure no one else would’ve taken a chance and signed him given his past
Facts
He Was Still Cold At That Time Too
dme123 indeed he was
My absolute favorite player have how jersey will never forget the run they went on in 99
really? a jersey of a guy that assualted his coach...twice! and choked women
I Influenced Chief Keef To Have The Pigtail Dreads Hairstyle
- Latrell Spreewell
I think this title is a bit misleading. I vividly remember when Spree was in the league with MJ, and his upside was not that high
that title is MADNESS! spreewell was never close to being as good as michael
Hearing his story gives me mixed feelings. In a way, he was destined to fail but succeeded because of his talent. Doesn't sound like he had much support growing up. Most people with that background are dead or in jail.
Ball headed Sprewell motivated me as a skinny undersized combo guard to come off 2feet in the 2hand atomic hawk or clutch dunk hard once a day at the open gyms and park hoops back in 1997.Nick van Excel and Sprewell 2 of my favorite 5 to watch back then when I wasn't playin
Yo they refuse to put bald head sprewell on 2k
Talk about a guy who was fun to watch, Latrell Sprewell. Especially back in GS and his first couple years in NY the guy was absolutely electric.
Spree had that endless motor, lightning quick1st step and savage rage dunks all over the rim game and a nice 18ft midrange touch .that yr away from playing do to his suspension stunted his perimeter development where the League was evolving and while not being active polishing up his crossover and handle where he would have had more than that same jab step or step back.and he could have been a much better outside shooter but he still had a great 10yr run being above average player and a 4time Allstar Salute!!
I remember this dude had all the talent, athleticism & heart in the world coming into the league. It's funny because I remember when the PJ Carlisemo accident happening & actually understanding Sprewell's reaction because my cousin played for PJ @ Seton Hall & I remember PJ having a reputation for yelling & screaming at his players, I always hated that. But still all in all its nothing to choke a man over, however I can understand how an individual with a temper can take it to that level. But Sprewell was definitely a star bro, it's a shame man.
Hell No! Spree was never No Mj... I believe Spree was more dominant at Golden State, definitely was Fearless on the Court.... But He was no Jordan
Damn Spreewell.. My favorite player on Golden State Spreewell Chris Webber lead team.. That team was loaded they had everything but a solid center.. What could of been if Don Nelson ego didn't get in the way u should do a stunted growth series on teams that could of been.. That would be a dope n fresh concept for your channel!!!
Was gonna ask if Tim hardaway was with them too then I remembered Tim was there with Mitch Richmond and Chris mullen. Run TMC was the name of that big 3 if I remember correctly
@@doootheytho9821 yeah Hardaway was on that team he tore his acl the beginning of the year and Avery Johnson took over the point that team was loaded just didn’t have a solid center
@@nC_DUKE_ ohh okay thanks.. wow the amount of talent they had on those teams was ridiculous
really love your perspective on the players in these videos - the type of content you dont get from major sports networks
You can feed the entirety of Haiti for 5 years with 8 million
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work give him the credit and respect that he deserve 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
He was 34, he definitely should of took that contract...🤣🤣
Love that begging my dude..!!!
Golden State sprewell was a beast had a total game .
Yeah spree blew it bro
Do JJ Hickson
As a die hard Knicks fan I had a love/hate relationship with Sprewell. As a Bklyn girl, I luv the aggressive/crazy attitude he had on and off court. Some NY’er’s actually “liked” the whole choking incident. Showed his grit. I defended him long after my fellow fans wrote him off. Actually sad when he longer played for NY. I’m a team fan, not a player fan, but of course I followed him after he left. Same with Melo and Porzingis and a few others. But, always made each game worth watching. Much luv to him now. 🤗
Come on down to barclays with the nets where we actually make the playoffs.
Facts. Sprewell had that it! Had he not have to deal with that stigma from GS he would've play a lot better in NY. Killed in the finals vs Spurs though
He was a top sg for the warriors. One of my favorites to watch. Underrated defender as well
“I got kids to feed.”
If I choked my boss and socked him
In the face, I would not be suspended for
1yr. I’d be in JAIL
No shit.
I can't believe u used that title, then showed clips of Spree vs. Jordan while MJ played in Washington. And MJ still killed him. No way could Spree been the next MJ playing D like that! Blasphemous that u took it there, im disappointed fam.
One my favorite team Spreewell Chris Webber Golden State team.. They had everything but a solid center what they could of been if Don Nelson ego didn't get involved.. U should do stunted growth on whole teams that would be a dope n fresh concept!!!
C-Webb had a very good career but i agree he should have a stunted growth video because he was way too talented to be "very good" he had all time great abilities but it was too many times I watched dude and asked why is he settling for a mid range jumper when the paint is open and he can take damn near any big man off the dribble
He said he was on track to becoming a player like dwade Kobe mj while on the warriors when he was younger not while he was a knick
@@nC_DUKE_ He already done concept that with the Mid 2000s Suns and Lob City Clippers
@@pjmcray101 I didn't see those but he should do more teams
Great GREAT excellent video bout my favorite player!!! Got me subscribed!!! Excellent ball player!!! Always enjoyed watching spree!!! Thumbs up!!!
Thank you bro!
Spree had one of the best signature dunks of all time. I loved his tenacity.
That beat is euphoric
When I found this channel and saw it was called "Stunted Growth" and most of the videos were about basketball, I Instantly thought "Latrell Spreewell"
Loved the intro
I love your videos so much man. I felt your opening hard. I relate 100%.
Dude, for Christ sake, you need to do a video bout "Chris Jackson" MAHMMOUD ABDUL RAUFF!!!
Spree had one of the best signature dunks of all time. Loved him on that Knicks team and that Timberwolves team with Garnett, Cassell, Szcerbiak and Troy Hudson.
Remember back in the day spinning rims. The were called Sprewells didn't he have a company that sold rims
Another dope video never disappoints 🔥🔥
The best channel for anything basketball love the content and thx for this one about Sprewell great message at the end.
Appreciate that Sir!
“Clenched Unyieldingly” 😎 ...
Sprewell playin in Oakland early 90's.. I'd watch n cheer from nexx door in San Leandro. Bay Area Salute ✔️
Great intro!!!!
Sprewell was a freakin' head case, plain and simple...
That intro is exquisite my dude!
Gotta change the title man 🤦♂️
Sprewell is one of the GOAT's.
I remember Spree in his Golden State days..Tim Hardaway was hurt..The kid came in and dominated him and C Webb gave GS Warriors hope in those days..
I Was In the Same Graduating Class With "Latrell Sprewell". He Went To Washington High School, I Went To Milwaukee Trade & Technical High School in Milwaukee, WI Class of 1987. 😏🎓
7.25 I remember seeing that move on a compilation back in the 90s here in the UK where we couldnt watch the NBA (unless we had cable, which i didnt of course). I tried that move so many times!
This was great narration.
Dopest SG you've done...spree was a beast
Thanks G
You should do a MICHAEL JORDAN "GROWTH STUNTED"
Spree was a monster wit the Warriors wit Webber "" he kinda disappeared when he played Mike and Kobe "" but he definitely was an underrated talent """
Yup. Own's it.
Me as a Starks fan was bittersweet about the trade for Spree. But he was the infusion Knicks needed to go on a open space game with more speed
If they don't win a ring do a Russell and James harden video
This was one of my favorite players growing up
Do a video on Michael Redd. He was one of my favorite players
A 2nd round pick, a steal
I remember when wizards MJ owned Vince Carter too lol 🤦🏽♂️
Also one dope set of style rims named after him .
One of the best, keep grinding bro.
It's a shame how ewing gets a bad rap for not winning title I always thought the late 90s knicks teams with spree houston Lj had more firepower than early 90s knicks teams but ewing prime was early 90s
U sound like the 2k insider voice in 2k10 no cap 😭
Brotha please tell use your story and if u already re upload cause i haven't seen it also keep up the good content
20k and it's coming soon
One of my favorite players. Especially that Knicks team in the late 90s and 2000. That was my favorite team at that time.
Him holding out for more money is what did him in, he was going to make 7 million a year no one else was going to pay him that money considering he a 34 year old aging star who was on the decline at that time
Next Jordan no sir. An elite hall of fame talent hail yeah. PJ had a penchant for yelling at players back to his days at Seton Hall, that choke out he had coming. I just wish it hadn't have been Spree. Even him going after Jerome Kersey with a 2x4, cuz ain't play buh'shit.
Complete offensive player, a beast on defense, and super human hops. For fans of the game cats like him and Shawn Kemp were gifts from God.
Just imagine Spree & Kemp & Payton / T.Hardaway on one team...
A traumatic childhood will follow you if you don't clean it up
When I ran in Shawn Marion, many moons ago.....We discussed Spree.
Since Shawn came to Chicago, I asked, "Hey man...where you going ?". He responded Milwaukee. I was like, "Isn't Spree over there". Then I forgot what happened with the rest of our chat. Observation though - Marion was 1 of thee most classiest individuals I've ever met; who's "known". I wish a little of his personality rubbed off on Starbury and Spree (sigh)
He was my favorite player for the Warriors. Broke my heart when I heard about the choke out. smh
This mortal kombat move 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
He had a commercial for 95 Live on Super Nintendo. The hook was "Owns It"
me-Latrell Sprewell is the greatest athlete ever. I was really 5'8 and 6'2. 3'9 inches feet tall first started as a 6 year old from Saginaw, michgan
I was literally the only kid at my HS roccin the Sprees(white n Blacc) Been a fan of his since he was on the Knicks
As a hometown Golden State Warriors fan Sprewell was my Michael Jordan
I honestly thought he was even going to be maybe even better than Jordan his athleticism was matched and he had a Great layup package and amazing mid range game and his three-point shot was better than Jordan
He was so fierce and competitive and a defensive stopper
Even when Mitch Richmond left the Warriors I was upset for breaking up TMC but when I saw how great Sprewell was I knew we were in business and it was the only team I used on live 95 except the Seattle Supersonics. Then he choked PJ I couldn’t believe it and I was upset that the Warriors were out of luck again
Do Cezar Guerrero next
Great and superb story...spree was very talented and a whole lot of potential....after he said the gotta feed my family comment, that ended his nba career there...smh...
Love your videos big Homie do LEN BIAS💯💯💪💪
Thank you. Def coming soon!
Great video and commentary. Sprewell is my favorite 2 behind MJ but you gave some of the best analysis on him, definitely rational and without bias. You asked good questions towards the end in regards to that Allan Houston contract. The NBA locked out over the KG deal....that was nothing lol
Love fam. Yea man, it hit him close though because he truly felt he carried the Knicks
Excited 🔥
You didn't have to show MJ first. Golden State Sprewell should've been shown first. WTF?
Latrell was a Knicks GOD.
I’m a firm believer that the contract H20 got should’ve been split between him and Spree. Spree did something stupid with the injury ordeal, but the Knicks made an even bigger one shipping him to Minnesota and putting all our chips in Houston’s basket.
As tremendous as Houston was, once he got that contract, he started taking WAY too many shot attempts and his defense was always subpar.
Re-signing Houston and trading Spree was the beginning (The Ewing trade for Glen Rice and 49 scrubs who never played for us is the real beginning, yet I digress) of a LONG, DARK road we are still traveling down, even today. Those moves were exacerbated by the signing Dice (could’ve drafted Amare) and drafting of Sweetney.
Penny Hardaway, Van Horn, Tim Thomas, Mutombo, Steve Francis, Jalen Rose, Malik Rose, Jerome James, Etc. All of these blunderous, bloated, acquisitions started when we lost Spree. The culture changed.
I honestly believe had the Knicks kept Spree, kept Houston, drafted Amare, acquired Marbury, and Mutombo we would’ve been a MUCH better team. A Marbury/Houston/Sprewell/Stoudemire/Mutombo starting 5 could easily win 50 games in the East back then.
Spree got a bad wrap. He, Patrick Ewing, and Larry Johnson are my all time favorite Knicks.
Spree fit the NY culture. It’s Dolan that doesn’t fit the culture. So many awful executives hired by him ruined us the last 20 years.
I think our current team is the worst it’s ever been, but at least they’re young, have upside, and we have cap space. Maybe things will FINALLY change for the better in NY
Love your content bro. Can you please do Larry Johnson next?
Good suggestion my man. Aight I'm on it. 👍🏾
You open up by saying "I fell in love with words" then you proceed to say "esketit". Figure it out bro.
Your videos are powerful
Thank you!
You have to do a video on Royce White. I want to see how you cover him?
Can we get that jc episode?
20,000 subs. Working on it
