LeBron: Players Union 'Not In A Good Place Right Now'

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Sun Aug 11, 2013 12:59 am

LeBron James is still mulling whether he will run as president of the NBA players union, but he was adamant about the disarray the NBPA is currently in.

"I just think the union is going backwards and it's not in a good place right now," James said.

"I think my voice could be huge in that situation."

James would be the most high-profiled star to lead the players union since Patrick Ewing over 15 years ago.

"I'm not sure I have the time to do it but it's something I'm going to think about with my team and go from there," James said. "But I think we all can agree there's been a lot of transition in our union in the last couple of years. If it's not me in that seat then I hope it's someone who is comfortable with it and can do the job."

Most nba players haven't. I think you mean he didn't even go to college right?

I would rather it be someone that has gone to college.

The dumber the player union, the better, I always say.

I hope LeBron runs.

Please, what classes would you have learned about in college that would allow you to be the head of the players union. Lebron knows more on the subject than most people in the world. Additionally, Lebron knows more about finances than most think.

I wouldn't doubt he's running for pres so he can protect him and the other hgh users in there.

Yep. He also wants to keep steroid testing out.

You don't even understand the difference between 'wants' and 'mulling over', how educated could you possibly be? :lol:
