Blackballed Players

[Easy-E]

One thing ya'll are missin': Sports, in America, are businesses before they are competitions.

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

Former NBA player jailed in Georgia, faces murder charges - CNN.com

Crittenton is charged with homicide murder, felony murder and intent to commit aggravated murder, Flanagan said.

He was arrested in late August at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, on a fugitive warrant.

Atlanta investigators say Julian Jones, 22, was killed in a drive-by shooting August 19.

The mother of four may not have been the target of the shooting, Atlanta police told CNN affiliate WSB. Police believe Crittenton may have been targeting a man who stole jewelry from him.

Albert Belle retired because of a bad hip.

Murder charge

On August 26, 2011, Crittenton was charged with the August 19 murder of Jullian Jones, a 22-year-old mother of four. Atlanta police indicated that Jones was not the intended target; they believe that Crittenton was targeting a person who robbed him in April 2011.[11] Jones was shot in the leg and died during surgery.[12] Crittenton was arrested by the FBI in John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California on August 29, while waiting to board a flight back to Atlanta. His lawyer stated that Crittenton planned to surrender to authorities in Atlanta upon his return.[13] Crittenton was extradited to Atlanta to stand trial for the murder. He has denied any involvement.[14] Crittenton's bond was set at $230,000. He is currently out on bond.[15]

Seems like people are just naming random people.

Marbury wasn't blackballed.

Marbury rips Knicks, coach, says he'll sit out season - NYPOST.com

Although Stephon Marbury says he's not ready to announce his retirement, the for Knicks guard said yesterday he has "shut everything down," taking the season off to work on his businesses and claims he will return to the NBA next season.

Marbury went unsigned as a free agent this summer after turning down Boston's veteran minimum offer ($1.3 million) in July.

Surprised Bonds didnt play 1 more year. .276 with .480 OBP he could have been a DH at best for another year.

 

[Piff Perkins]

You all ignore the fact that AI was pretty bad in detroit, but even more so he was instrumental in destroying the culture that joe dumars cultivated in detroit.

Nobody wants that to happen to them, even for 11pts off the bench a game.

This. People forget he was starting shyt, was upset about coming off the bench, etc. Dude was kind of revived in Memphis and STILL fukked it up. AI got no one to blame but AI

For sure Barry Bonds was blackballed. Even though Rashad McCants had his issues he was never in trouble with the law or anything like that. What's wrong with a cat being quiet and keeping to himself? This man is only like 27 with one of the sweetest jumpers i have ever seen. I know he could be in the L doing what a Jr Smith or a Jamal Crawford does. As far as guys like AI and TO yeah they were basically blackballed but they brought it on themselves with years of being outspoken. One player i'm suprised got another chance is Randy Moss.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I know not many care about baseball but Rafael Palmeiro disappearing quickly after he tested positve for roids was crazy.After he tested positive we never heard a word about him ever again.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I dont know what happen with TO. He wasnt that bad on Cincy,almost had 1000 yards.Surprised he didnt at least get a tryout with a team.A 38 year old TO wouldnt be a bad #3 WR

 

[kash10003]

you guys make mccants sound like he had god abilities on the court. he wasn't all that. he had an average run in the NBA with potential and didn't make it. dude was crazy.

AI wasnt outspoken to me, he just wanted to have a starter/major role. i still got much love for the dude no homo, i copped the tickets to the first game back as a sixers. he got a standing ovation, kissed the center court logo, grabbed the tip off and chucked it up for a badly contested layup. nba passed him by

barry could have still played. i dont know about the rest of the dudes in here. John Rocker, idk, he had one pretty good season. dude is a fukking lunatic. you cant get away being a bad PR personnel that billionaires will be associated to
