GA Russell Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 For those who care, this was all related to the famous Baltimore Terrapins case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Terrapins In the days before radio, the Supreme Court ruled that baseball was not interstate commerce. Sixty years later, everyone knew better, and the basketball people did not enjoy an exemption from anti-trust laws. It was illegal for the four ABA teams to abandon those not admitted to the NBA.

paul secor Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I just love the story of how the big time NBA and their hotshot lawyers got taken by two brothers they thought were just small time guys.
