Welcome to another episode of Spencer Haywood Rules podcast. In today’s show, Spencer Haywood, a former professional basketball player who played in both the NBA and ABA during the 1970s discusses his past life and the challenges he faced during the 1970s. He is best known for his legal battle against the NBA, which resulted in the Spencer Haywood Rule allowing players to enter the league before their college eligibility expires.
The Spencer Haywood Rule has been a game-changer for the NBA, as it has allowed talented young players to enter the league early and showcase their skills to a wider audience. This has helped to create a more competitive and exciting league and has also given players greater control over their careers.
He also invited Matt Billman, and Lamont Mims into the show to discuss the trades happening in the NBA. He asked their opinions about the trades, how they will affect the team dynamics, as well as the many teams favored by the fans to win the championship this season in the NBA. Lastly, he also shares some stories about retired players gathering and having a reunion like the Lakers' previous roster, Magic Johnson, Pat Riley, Kareem, and Spencer himself.
