Michael Rapaport talks during a panel for FX show "Justified" in 2014.
This is what gets Michael Rapaport excited. It’s not news about his latest film or a big role, it’s a phone call from a basketball player.
Former Knicks star Latrell Sprewell had called him days earlier, agreeing to appear on Rapaport’s podcast.
“It was Spree, f—ing” Spree,” Rapaport says, unable to contain the pure joy of talking to the one-time standout from Rapaport’s favorite team.
Rapaport, 46, interviewed Sprewell in July, live in front of an audience in Milwaukee, where Sprewell grew up and still lives, as part of the podcast he’s taken on the road.
