Playing advocate, but wouldnt that said true freedom also give the owners/teams the right to blackball him if/when they saw fit. NBA employment is a privledge and not a right and therefore those signing the checks (the owners) have the right to blackball him if they see his behavior/beliefs as having a negative impact on there business.
