In 1997 then-Warriors guard Latrell Sprewell attacked and attempted to choke then-Warriors head coach P.J. Carlesimo during a Golden State practice. Sprewell was suspended for the remainder of the season, and Carlesimo was later fired. The careers of both will forever be linked together as long as both are in the NBA, and Carlesimo's return to the NBA pine as the lead assistant coach in San Antonio is of no suprise to Sprewell. "I figured somebody would pick him up sooner or later," said Sprewell, who has since made up with his former coach. "I'm over it," Sprewell said of the incident. "I'm not surprised he's back. Not at all." |
