    Had not heard this before and seemed like a big deal.

    The National Basketball Players Association, already in turmoil after President Derek Fisher asked for independent reviews of its finances and business practices, is being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, the union said in a statement.

    Its time to dismantle the entire players/NBPA/NBA office/owners business relationship. This Fall just proved how broken their system or lack therof is.

    At first, I thought Fisher had brought a knife to a gunfight. But, I guess he was wearing a bomb vest too.

    Not at all. That's stock.

    This is nepotism, though, unless Hunter's kids are really that qualified.

    Instead of giving control to someone worthy they would give it to their kids or relative. is it really that different?
