NBA Legend Spencer Haywood on how he got Blackballed by the NBA

[UpAndComing]

He got so much heat because he wanted to leave college early in 1970. This issue actually went all the way up to the supreme court

Bulls announcers saying "There would be no game tonight, because we have an illegal player on the floor"



Wow I am in awe and so proud of the NBA legends who paved the way


Side note. I love how KG and Area 21 is bringing all these legends back on TV

Man, I knew the name but didn't even know the story. Salute to the veteran breh. I'm usually one of those "It's better if players go to college to learn the game" but tbh watching this brought a whole new perspective to that. Humbling.
