Latrell Sprewell: You’ve Got a Friend
Icouldn’t let this one slide.
Reading Adweek’s Letters page [July 5], I was appalled by Trevor Armstrong’s condemnation of Latrell Sprewell in And1’s “American Dream” commercial, which was chosen as a Best Spot for May.
Sorry to disappoint Mr. Armstrong, but Sprewell is more than “a common thug”–he’s a great basketball player. The ad was selected because it was creative and, yes, edgy. I hope it makes the list for Best Spots of 1999!
I’m sure Latrell Sprewell is reminded every day about the choking incident of his Golden State coach, P.J.
