How did one man fight the NBA and change sports history forever?

from Run It By My Lawyer · host Joseph Samo

In 1970, the NBA wanted to acquire the ABA. That merger would have curtailed the players' negotiation power against the NBA. Oscar Robertson, a young player from Indiana wouldn't have it. He fought for several years to prevent the merger and protect players' rights. Fellow basketball players called him "Big O" for many great reasons. His inspirational fight against big corporations, the senate, a federal court, and more, changed the history of sports. Learn how Oscar Robertson took on the world and came out victorious. #NBA #Antitrust #sportslaw #Lakers #Celtics Website:  www.SamoLaw.com    Email:  [email protected]   Instagram:  @runitbymylawyer   Support the Podcast:    Venmo:   @Joe-Samo-1
