No wonder why he needed to feed his family... This is crazy...
Latrell Sprewell named in $200 million NYC palimony suit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The mother of four of former NBA star Latrell Sprewell’s children sued him for $200 million Monday, alleging Sprewell broke their long-term cohabitation deal and roughed her up last month in their Westchester County home.
Candace Cabbil brought the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, saying Sprewell recently ended the steady living arrangement that developed after they met in 1989 when both attended the University of Alabama.
“I certainly have no comment about that at this point,” said Jonathan C. Smith, an attorney for Sprewell.
The lawsuit says that on Sept. 8, Sprewell broke his promise to share his life, and his fortune, with Cabbil when he entered their Purchase, N.Y., home and announced they needed “to end this fake” relationship.
Sprewell started giving Cabbil less money than usual for household expenses and for their children, ages 3, 7, 8 and 11, and made himself scarce when she tried to find him, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit said Cabbil also was the guardian for a 16-year-old child Sprewell fathered with another woman.
It alleges that, in December, Sprewell entered their home, chased Cabbil around and smacked her hand to prevent her from trying to use a cell phone to call police. Then he allegedly grabbed her and dragged her down a flight of stairs by her feet, causing her physical and emotional injury.
According to the lawsuit, the encounter brought a violent end to a relationship that belied earlier promises that she had “nothing to worry about” and she “owned everything he owned” despite his failure to marry or to put her name on the home he bought for $3 million in 2000.
Cabbil, who gave up a $25,000 job at a hospital to have their first child in 1995, said in the lawsuit that there was rarely less than $100,000 in the couple’s joint bank account.
Sprewell also hired a baby sitter and a house cleaner, bought Cabbil new cars and registered Cabbil as his wife with the National Basketball Association so she could receive health insurance, the lawsuit said.
When Sprewell was traded from the New York Knicks to the Minnesota Timberwolves in July 2003, the couple agreed that Cabbil and the children would remain in Purchase while Sprewell went to play in Minnesota, the lawsuit said.
Instead of returning to his family in New York, Sprewell chose to live on a yacht he had purchased in Wisconsin, the lawsuit said.
Sprewell, who lives in River Hills, Wis., near Milwaukee, played 13 NBA seasons, most recently with the Timberwolves in the 2004-05 season. He was a four-time All-Star.
Sprewell has not played professional basketball since turning down a three-year, $21 million extension from Minnesota.

what an idiot
He may be an idiot, but 200 mil? This chick is never gonna get that if they wernt married. Maybe she will settle for some spinners
him, i can't believe i ever rooted for him when he was a knick...at least he made the mistake of registering her as his wife with the nba although this may not mean anything depending on the state...she will at least get some very decent child support
the question is, does he even have 200mill to begin with....
My momma says: You can't get blood from a turnip.
What an ass to abandon his children and their mother - along with his child from another relationship. That yacht is the next thing to go, then where will he live with no income?
I didn't realize he has 13 years under his belt in the NBA, no wonder Minne offered him a measly $21/3 year deal, shucks.
the lady is crying because there was only 100,000 in the joint bank account after he bought her cars?
she looks like a gold digger to me. All she did is give up 25k job...............
have you ever seen the houses in purchase, ny? these are not your regular old 2000 sq. ft cookie cutter houses, we're talking HUGE houses set back more than a 100-200 feet from the street. i used to drive through there all the time, i'm sure you need quite a bit of money to keep those houses running and spree probably had one of a house. 100K doesn't allow you to buy much in the wealthiest county in the country when you have three (or four?) kids to take care of and O, she didn't just give up her 25K job, she was the mother of their three kids and probably had to raise those children alone because spree was always on the road with the team or living it up on his yacht. this ain't texas, 100K ain't much in ny when you live in westchester or nyc.
Making $25,000 before they had a baby together doesn't necessarily make her a gold digger. And hey, he kept having them with her....
Here's what the piece says about the bank account:
To me this portrays a picture of having financial freedom, not " ing" about the sum being too small. It's likely strategy. declaring that her lifestyle was good-they were in a good position. She undoubtedly expects to collect what she "has lost", even though Spreewell isn't technically making a salary now.Cabbil, who gave up a $25,000 job at a hospital to have their first child in 1995, said in the lawsuit that there was rarely less than $100,000 in the couple’s joint bank account.
I´m not saying She´s a gold digger.....but she aint messing with no broke N****RS....
Just another case of an old thinking her vagina is worth cash, That needs to be in prison.
Dont get me wrong, he should support his kids, but he doesnt owe her .
hate women much, head?
reading just the first page of your posts in your profile had me rolling on the floor laughing, it was so misogynistic about several people...you must be one sad person
Are you in' serious? When you're with a multi-millionaire, you don't need to be alone raising children. You have care-takers helping you. You're only job is to your husband and spend his money. There's no way in you're going to get me to cry me a river for this woman.
Ahem - message to women - a man will not buy the cow if he's getting the milk for free! If you think so little of yourself as to live with a man without him loving you enough to make the commitment to marry you, and then you go and have bas children with him - you deserve what you get! Spree should support the children, but the owes nothing to that woman. She got a free ride for at least 10 years - and she STILL couldn't get him to marry her!
OK now for real, who didn't see these battle lines being drawn. Ponky Vs a horde of misogynistic male Texans. This truely is a classic.
You mean Ponky the Pussy vs real men who don't think you should have to pay cash for sex. That could not get anyone to give her $20 for her used up ponky.
I highly doubt Spree has 200 mil, there's just no way. Even if he had made that much in his career, there's no way he still has it all.
He would play for less than 5 mil now
Well, I'd imagine he made a crap load of money from the rims, so he probably has a lot of money.
(And from Sprewell Racing)
Spree is a peice of crap. Back in his GS days his pitbull attacked his daughter and messed her face up. Spree didn't want to get rid of the dog said it wasn't the dogs fault.
Question: Why should she marry him and mess up that beautiful thing she had going?
who cares about latrell spreewell.
I dunno, maybe his pitbull?
