Ex-NBA player Rashad McCants says dating Khloe Kardashian killed his career
Former NBA player Rashad McCants has a few regrets about the way his
basketball career shook out, but none bigger than dating one of the
Kardashians.
McCants became known for helping North Carolina win the national championship
while teaming up with fellow prized recruits Sean May, David Noel and Raymond
Felton. He then was picked No. 14 overall by the Timberwolves in 2005 and played
with Minnesota through 2009.
McCants began dating Khloe Kardashian in
the fall of 2009, and he says that’s where his career went off the rails. He
told the Charlotte Observer
that dating Khloe gave NBA teams a reason to doubt his commitment.
“Without that situation in play, I’m a $60-70 million player,” McCants said.
“Easily.”
McCants was traded by Minnesota to Sacramento in early 2009. He signed with
the Rockets in Sept. 2009 but didn’t end up playing for them. He had interest
from a few other NBA teams over the next year, but nothing worked out. He then
bounced around with two D-League stints and multiple stints abroad, none lasting
for very long.
McCants isn’t the first athlete to raise eyebrows by dating a Kardashian. In
fact, one NBA star recently said his play took off once he stopped
dating Khloe. But to act like Khloe is the reason why McCants is out of the
NBA is absurd. McCants couldn’t even get a steady gig anywhere after the
Timberwolves. That seems to say more about him than anything else.
