Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet has been elected as the new President of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), beginning a four-year term effective immediately.
VanVleet, a nine-year NBA veteran and former All-Star, takes over from CJ McCollum, who served on the NBPA’s Executive Committee for seven years — including the last four as President. McCollum played a key role in guiding the NBPA through critical moments such as the 2020 NBA Restart and the 2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.
“It’s truly an honor to be elected as President of the NBPA by my peers,” VanVleet said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing to advocate for the best interest of all the members.”
