2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

NBPA providing health care now for retired players with at least 3 years of experience.

Best PA in sports, or at least the sports that matter

Indeed! I hoop with Willie Burton and he was telling me that earlier this week. He was super happy about it too. He said through the NBA it was crazy expensive for them and their families so this is a blessing.
 
 
Its not lowkey
I remember visiting the NBAPA in NY back when Billy was still the head a few years back, and even then he was schooling us on how the NBAPA helps assist NBA players with their life after basketball. Getting them jobs in tv, or whatever it was that they wanted to do. Said it's much easier when guys actually went to school for television and broadcasting and what not to get them gigs in television. 
 
other sports need to take notice. Hello NFL. Do it.

Either Roger Goodell and the NFLPA are in cahoots, or the NFLPA must be comprised of morons, because it's mind boggling that between the major three sports in america, the most violent one is the only sport where contracts aren't 100% guaranteed.

If owners aren't gonna be required to pay out contracts, the league definitely aint gonna be thinking about providing health care to retired players. despite making money hand over fist, the league aint gonna foot the bill of all them CT scans of brains.

it blows my mind. Of all the leagues, the NFL should have the best benefits, but also the most costly one. I mean my goodness, so guaranteed contracts? Baffled.

The time will come.

to many players. nba has 15 players to a squad . nfl 54 players to a roster. nfl will never have guaranteed contracts nor the best benefits.  .  i love football but id basketball is tops and baseball is much better as  well as far as money.
