Update on Kareem Adbul-Jabbar vs. Upper Deck Lawsuit

[Card Magnet]

I have to say that I agree with Upper Deck that the jury pool in Los Angeles might be too pro-KAJ because of his legendary career. I've been keeping an eye out for news on this case, and am curious to see how it turns out. I hope that if UD finds itself on the losing end that it doesn't hit them so hard that they go under or anything.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the most beloved Lakers of all time -- and that's exactly why the Upper Deck trading card company believes they can't get a fair shot against him in a Los Angeles court.

It's all over a lawsuit Kareem filed last month -- in which he accused Upper Deck of using his image on a trading card without his permission.

Now, Upper Deck wants the case moved to San Diego .... arguing in new documents that because Kareem spent so many years playing for the Lake Show ... his "iconic status in Los Angeles will irrefutably prejudice [Upper Deck] and deny them a fair and unbiased trial."

Fair point by UD just keeps getting worse and worse for those guys
