Rashad McCants will soon turn 27 and still has enough talent to play professional basketball, but is not eager to continue his career.

“Basketball was an opportunity, a means to an end after college, and I planned not to solely depend on basketball, so the lockout doesn’t affect me - I have been locked out two years,’’ said McCants, who said he owns successful businesses. “I have been blackballed for two years, so these guys are making a big thing out of the lockout. They don’t know what locked out is.’’

McCants said he wants to be considered the “best player in the world not playing basketball’’ and is content if he doesn’t make an NBA return.
