The National Basketball League’s 2016-17 season is three weeks away, but the union representing roughly 450 of the league’s players recently filed its annual report with the U.S. Department of Labor, listing more than $1.8 million in legal expenses to 14 firms for fiscal 2015-16.
The New York-based National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) is led by former Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom litigation partner Michele Roberts, who joined the union in late 2014 as executive director. Roberts replaced former federal prosecutor G. William “Billy” Hunter, who has been involved in litigation with the NBPA since his ouster as leader in 2013.
