    The NBA has yet to announce any punishment of Wolves guard Latrell Sprewell over his foul mouth.

    Sprewell responded to a female heckler, during the Wolves overtime win Saturday against the Clippers, by yelling at her graphically to perform a sexual act. BenMaller.com first reported this story yesterday.

    Sprewell's crude choice of language was picked up by the court-side mic and broadcast live on the Clippers KTLA Los Angeles TV broadcast.

    Earlier this season Sprewell upset NBA boss David Stern when he demanded a new contract because he was worried about feeding his family despite making a reported $14,625,000 this season.

    The NBA has fined and suspended players in the past for cursing on TV but those incidents happened during postgame interviews. Shaquille O'Neal for example used two profanities while criticizing the referees in a postgame interview back in February of 2004. O'Neal later apologized but was suspended without pay for one game.

    They went to the Patrick Ewing School of Consumption. They may need a lot of food, but they eat a lot of food.

    "Sure, we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money too."

    Spree can relate to what Ewing said.

    Spree is #1 on my list of most hatted players after his comments about feeding his family. That was just uncalled for. I hope he gets suspended for a longggggg time, though its not gona happien.

    Spree is an idiot and with every counting minute he's not giving any reason to believe otherwise...

    Aren't we a little over sensitive in this case though? I mean the lady was heckling him. If you're a playing ball with some people and they said something to you, and you respond with a insult back, is that too bad?

    I honestly have no problem with this if it what he was responding to was similar in nature. Just like the Artest thing would've been fine to me had he been punched beforehand. Making you a woman doesn't mean you can get away with saying anything worse than a man and not hearing a retort.
