The Sixers might trade Keith Van Horn for my favorite basketball player, Latrell Sprewell! OK, I have other favorite players now - Vlade Divac, as well as Mavericks Steve Nash and Eduardo Najera - but Sprewell was the first player I really got into. I liked the Knicks in the wake of their trip to the 1999 Finals, but the team had a swift decline culminating in Coach Van Gundy's quick resignation and their trading Camby to the Nuggets. Having lived in Philly, I could definitely become a Sixers fan if the king of cornrows and Allen Iverson are on the same team. Too bad Larry Brown is already gone. The story suggests Sprewell might wind up somewhere else, in one of those Byzantine multi-player trades. He could wind up playing for my favorite team right now, the Dallas Mavericks, which would be awesome.
Nope, Spree ended up on my team (The Minnesota Timberwolves); the Sixers got Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson. Because the idea of Sprewell and Allen Iverson on the same team was just too much for the league to take.
