Sprewell's contract was the first ever terminated through paragraph 16A1 of the uniform player contract, which prohibits "acts of moral turpitude." And the yearlong ban was, by 10 months, the longest in NBA history. Was what Sprewell did that much worse than Charles Barkley's throwing a guy through a plate-glass window?
