(WIFR) – According to the National Basketball Players Association, Fred VanVleet will serve as their president for the next four years.
VanVleet was elected during the annual summer meeting of the Board of Player Representatives, as announced on the NBPA’s website.
“It’s truly an honor to be elected as President of the NBPA by my peers and I look forward to continuing to advocate for the best interest of all the members,” said VanVleet. “With a deep appreciation for the complexities and challenges players face on all levels of their NBA journeys, I am committed to approaching this role with the passion, dignity, and dedication every player deserves.”
VanVleet is a nine-year NBA veteran and current Houston Rockets guard. He will transition into his new role with guidance from CJ McCollum, the last president of the association, according to NBPA.
“It’s been a privilege to serve on the NBPA Executive Committee for the past seven years and uniquely shape the business of our game,” said McCollum. “I am encouraged by the future of the PA under Fred’s leadership, as he has earned the basketball community’s respect and has proven he is ready for this next step. I look forward to supporting him as we continue building a stronger Association that serves past, present, and future generations of players.”
