Imagine a world without social media, where everything that happens in training isn’t immediately broadcast around the world. Because it was almost by chance that the press discovered that an NBA player attacked his coach on December 1, 1997.
That day, at the end of closed-door training, PJ Carlesimo appeared in front of the microphones, and a journalist noticed long cuts on his neck. “Did you cut yourself while shaving this morning?” » jokes the reporter. “No comment” replies the coach.
The start of a completely crazy affair. Because PJ Carlesimo was strangled by one of his players. Latrell Sprewell snapped, and there were warning signs.
A look back at this crazy episode in the life of the Warriors.
