Spencer Haywood has transformed the NBA in more ways than one. Now, he’s looking to be a game-changer right here in Las Vegas. “Before I came along, the NBA didn’t allow players to leave high school, college or anything you had to stay for four years after your high school class or graduated,” Haywood said. “So I sued the NBA for the rights to play.” Five decades later, the impact of Haywood is clear every time you look on an NBA court. “In that Supreme Court ruling, I won seven to two,” Haywood said.
