A River Hills house belonging to former NBA star Latrell Sprewell was foreclosed on Monday after he failed to show up in court to contest the action brought by a bank that held his mortgage. The holder of the mortgage, RBS Citizens Bank, told Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge David Hansher that Sprewell owed $320,284. According to River Hills records, the house is assessed at $610,000 and has an estimated fair market value of $667,980. Sprewell bought the house in 1994 for $405,000.

How is he supposed to feed his family with no house? It's the NBA fault

What happens if he gets angry at the bank for foreclosing the house?
Once he gets back in town, will he storm into their office?
If so, will he choke the banker?

What a sickening mismanagement of wealth. Maybe Mark or Mike or Mook whatever his name is D'Antoni can reunite Spree and Houston for another run to the finals.

I guess I always remember when he choked his coach over an issue... sad when athletes who had millions throw it away..

what goes around comes around. what a loser.

Question: after making the money this idiot made, why would he have a mortgage on a $400,000 home?

Ahhhh...feels good to know i'm not the only one in debt!

May 13, 2008  09:40 AM ET

I would feel sorry for him, but I can't...

May 13, 2008  09:42 AM ET

amazing. almost 15 years after he bought the house, he's only paid down less than 80k of the principle. who the h--- is running his books? forget playing basketball... how about spree go back to school and get a 3rd grade education?

Sports_Fan_19, my thoughts exactly. I bet he would sign a 3 years $21 million contract ina heartbeat now. The guy obviously knew nothing about money management. I have no sympathy for this idiot at all. He should have no money problems at all and has no one to blame but himself.

May 13, 2008  09:53 AM ET

this just in: $21 millions not enough to feed my family!!

May 13, 2008  10:08 AM ET

Sprewell for Secretary of the Treasury. NOW!

May 13, 2008  10:08 AM ET

guess his family eats alot. 21 mil could not cover it so why pay your mortage.

Between Basketball players and Rappers, you'll be able to pick up a cheap used Lamborghini in a few years...The problem will be however all of the illegitimate kids with no child support...Just ask Vernon Maxwell's 9 illegitimate kids...
