abstract
  • George William "Billy" Hunter (born November 5, 1942 in Camden, New Jersey) is a former executive director of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), the players' union of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is also a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins. He graduated from Delaware Township High School in Delaware Township (now Cherry Hill Township), New Jersey, and played college football for Syracuse University. While a student-athlete at Syracuse, "he helped organize the school's boycott of Southern schools whose stadiums were segregated" He is a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Following his football career, Hunter attended law school and became an attorney. One of the youngest United States Attorneys in history, he was appointed to Northern California, where he prosecuted high-profile Federal defendants including members of Hells Angels and the Black Panther Party. He has served as the executive director of the NBPA since 1996. Hunter has received criticism for employing many family members within the NBPA. An external audit inititated by Derek Fisher uncovered numerous irregularities, and a select committee of NBA players unanimously ousted Hunter from his position on Feb. 16, 2013, during the All-Star break. In May 2013, Hunter sued Fisher and Jamie Wior, Fisher's publicist and business partner, seeking compensation and punitive damages. The suit claimed that Fisher had a secret deal with NBA owners during the 2011 NBA lockout.
