EWING COMMANDS NEW CENTER OF ATTENTION AS NBPA PRESIDENT
Published September 16, 1997
The NBPA elected Patrick Ewing as its new president,
according to Roscoe Nance of USA TODAY. NBPA Exec Dir Billy
Hunter and Ewing's agent, David Falk, both called Ewing one
of the top player "experts" on the CBA. Ewing: "My goal is
to make sure the players stay unified ... We have a lot of
important business ahead of us, and there is no limit to
what we can accomplish if we stay together." Joining Ewing
on the Exec Committee are First VP Charles Smith, VPs Tyrone
Corbin, Juwan Howard, Dikembe Mutombo, Mitch Richmond, Mark
West and Herb Williams and Secretary/Treasurer Jim McIlvaine
(USA TODAY, 9/16). Ewing will serve a four-year term as
president and now has "one of the strongest voices in the
union he once tried to decertify" (N.Y. TIMES, 9/16).
