Chris Paul understands peer complaints like LeBron James when it comes to playing a Stars game from NBA.
But as director of the National Basketball Players Association, he is trying to account for a greater consensus.
Point guard for the Phoenix Suns, Chris Paul He said Monday that the union’s main concern is to ensure the health and safety of the players. Paul also said he’s been in constant contact with guys like James and Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry.
Ultimately, though, Paul said it’s all about juggling the opinions of 450 players:
“There are different situations,” Paul said, via Pro Basketball Talk’s Dan Feldman. “But guys who have been playing a lot of games and who haven’t had much rest. I’m sure I’m not the only kid in the league who lives without his family. So the boys see that break as an opportunity to see their families. A lot of different things are happening right now. But he just hopes the guys understand the decisions that are being made, especially as the union has always had the entire player corps in mind. But emotions happen. Boys have feelings. And you have to be able to express them. And I respect it “.
Lebron James had torn the desire from the NBA to host the Stars gameBut next month’s exhibition would not take place if the union had not accepted it.
