Rashad McCants averaged 14.0 points for the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 07-08 season.
That dipped to a still respectable 9.6 points a game in 08-09, which would be the last season the-then 24-year-old would play in the NBA.
So what happened? Why did the league give up on a young , high pedigree (North Carolina, 14th overall pick) player with a track record of some success?
In an interview with the Charlotte Observer, McCants blames his relationship with Khloe Kardashian for the abrubt end to his NBA career.
“I’ve been told, numerous conversations and numerous sources, that I’ve been blackballed,” McCants said. “And it’s just the way the league is sometimes. When one person who is a higher-up, Hall of Famer, says don’t touch him, they won’t. And that’s just how it is.” "But McCants’ biggest regret was his highly-publicized relationship with reality TV star Khloe Kardashian late in his career, which he said gave people an opportunity to doubt his commitment to the NBA." “Without that situation in play, I’m a $60-70 million player,” McCants said. “Easily.”It should be noted that Khloe's high-profile relationships with James Harden and Tristan Thompson have cost neither their careers. At least so far.
Maybe McCants needs a better agent.
