Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association Billy Hunter told the L.A. Times multi-million dollar ballers, such as Kobe Bryant, will pitch in to help those players who may not make as much (compared to superstars like Kobe) offering loans during the lockout. Kobe and some others are stepping up to the plate to make sure they get their demands met and that other players don’t crack after not receiving a check.
What role will NBA superstars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James play as this moves forward?
They’ve been deeply involved in the meetings we’ve had. I know Kobe is intimately involved in interfacing with colleagues and sharing in a pool of revenue to help the others get through this. Kobe has volunteered to do that in the event others need, he and others are prepared to loan money if necessary.
That’s sweet of them.
