Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-02-18

There are constantly players in the NBA who are suspended for a variety of reasons, but most of them are time-limited and the players are able to return to the game after that. There have also been some players in NBA history who have been banned for life, which means the end of their basketball careers in the NBA, and here are some of the players who have been banned for life in the NBA:

1.Baird and Grossa, 1951 Indian Olympia players.

Many people don't know much about these two players, after all, 80 years have passed, in a six-overtime game against the Rochester Royals in 1951, Baird scored four consecutive points to beat the game, and Grossa averaged 217 points 107 rebounds, but after the game, these two players were found to have a problem with match-fixing, and they were directly banned by the league for life, and their basketball career pages were terminated, and their players also collapsed because of the bans of the two players, and the team had to be disbanded in 1953.

2.Noam Megull was a 1951 Balmore Bullets (the predecessor of the Wizards).

In 1951, the NCAA found out a gambling incident, and Norm Meguel was also implicated, because such incidents were being severely punished at that time, Norm Meguel was also suspended, and the idea of just preparing to enter the NBA to show his talents was immediately shattered.

3.Molinas, 1954 Fort Wayne Pistons player.

In 1954, Molinas was involved in the repeated gambling incident, and it was not surprising that he was banned for life, which shows that Molinas did not understand from the Nome Meguel incident"A lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the future"The truth.

4.Roger Brown, nickname''Princely''

Roger Brown played for the ABA Indiana Pacers since 1967 and later played for the Memphis Voices and the Utah Starlights, winning three ABA championships, being named the ABA Playoff MVP in 1970, being named to the ABA All-Star Team four times, being named to the ABA All-Star Team in 1971 and being named to the All-NBA Second Team twice. He was the first basketball player to sign with the Pacers and the first player in ABA history to score more than 10,000 points (10,498 points), but sadly he didn't play a game for the NBA. Why didn't the talented Roger Brown play in the NBA? The reason for this is that in 1960 he was framed for gambling with his high school star teammate Connie Hawkins, which led to a boycott by both the NCAA and the NBA. Since then, the framed Brown has had to play in the amateur league at the University of Dayton. Thankfully, on September 8, 2013, the NBA officially announced that he would be inducted into the Nai Smith Basketball Hall of Fame along with four legends.

5.Eddie Johnson was banned for life by the NBA in 1987 for violating drug enforcement rules.

Johnson is the second most common surname in the United States, with a total of 2.23 million people. And "Eddie" is also a commonplace name in the United States, so the name "Eddie Johnson" is even more ordinary, and there are two people in the NBA alone. Our protagonist is not Eddie Johnson, who was voted NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 1989. He tested positive several times. After a positive drug test, he failed to complete the mandatory drug counseling and was banned from the league as a result.

6.Keith Applelin, non-draft player.

Subsequently, Washington** intervened in the investigation, saying that an unloaded firearm had previously been found in Arenas' locker. During this time, Arenas had already been warned by the league, but before the start of a game, Arenas drew his gun in celebration, which made Stern completely angry, and eventually, NBA commissioner David Stern punished Arenas and Crittenton with a suspension.
