He's quiet, reserved and calculated. Which gets translated by some as what you described. Funny, I felt Wilt was in the same boat as Kareem in a way.

possibly.... but usually the "blackballing" comes at a time when certain players are on the decline and their skills are deteriorating.

It's their league and they have a right to do that

There's no rule saying they have to sign the most talented players.

I wouldn't be surprised if owners got together behind closed doors and agreed to something like that

Kermit wasn't blackballed.

He made the all star team 3 years after that.

Then why was he denied work by the NBA too many times? He spoke on this too. There is a HBO Real Sports doc on him as well as other docs where he speaks on being blackballed.
