Look. I'd be lying if I said I heard of Michele Roberts, new head of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) union, before today. Maybe some of you wonks or Washingtonians might have, but I hadn't.

And, since my entire family — including my seven kids and the barbers in each of the 17 barbershops I own — depends on me for income, the lives of my entire family as well."
