Wisconsin Says Latrell Sprewell and Anthony Mason Are Delinquent Taxpayers
The Wisconsin government is getting proactive about its delinquent taxpayers – it has posted the Top 100 online. And two of the top three are former NBA players. No. 1 is Milwaukee native Latrell Sprewell, who the government claims owes them $3.53 million in taxes.
No. 3 is something of a surprise: Anthony Mason, the former Milwaukee Bucks’ power forward. The government says Mason owes them $2.07 million in back taxes.
Sprewell’s financial issues have been well-chronicled on this site – he lost his Yacht, his house was being foreclosed a few years ago, but he’s still got the Big Body Benz – but I’m somewhat surprised by Mason, who always struck me as an upstanding, responsible individual. According to one site, Mason was paid about $16 million with the Bucks over four years, and his career NBA salary totaled about $45 million. Sprewell made in the ballpark of $97 million on the basketball court in his career.

They made a lot because they spent a lot.

So they’re to blame for the budget shortfalls, to think it was the poor teachers who then absorbed the brunt of Scott Walker’s reign of power

You forgot “well spoken”
July 27th, 2011 at 1:11 PM
still force-feeding us NBA stories despite the fact that the NBA won’t be relevant again until fall ’12.
i’m going to enjoy watching all these NBA players play across the pond.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:13 PM
I was wondering who would have sent this in. Interesting, for sure. I’d like to see other states and just how many of their top delinquents are former athletes.

What’s the Turkish tax code look like?

Anthony Mason played a big part in wrecking a re-surging Bucks franchise about 10 years ago.

How is Spree going to feed his family now?
July 27th, 2011 at 1:19 PM
was hoping to see Favre on that list.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:19 PM
I loved Mason as a young kid because he shaved what amounted to full murals in his hair.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:21 PM
The man love his hoops. Having said that, this is a perfect story for a blog, though. See comment No. 11 and 3.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:24 PM
This must be a “If TBL existed in 2000″ post. because that was the last time spreewell or mason were relevant
July 27th, 2011 at 1:24 PM
I remember after the strike season the Hornets unveiled this video with players dancing to the Jackson Five’s “I Want You Back”. I just remember the footage of Mason, he was high as a kite.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:24 PM
It’s fucking July.
i’d call it almost august.

I just got back from doing stuff and was reading through the posts and just found out a martini is not made from hard liquor. Jarring.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:26 PM
That was pretty funny. The shit is pure liquor.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:27 PM
Damn straight. My 4-month hard-on begins in less than 40 days.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
better seek immediate medical help.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:37 PM
Martinis are like tits: One’s not enough, three is too many and two is perfect.

Big martinis or small martinis with very big olives?
/joking. All martinis are good.
Aside: please laugh at the Carolina Panthers.
