NBPA Exec Dir Billy Hunter Denies Report Of Rift With Derek Fisher

NBPA Exec Dir Billy Hunter disputed a report that indicated there was a rift between himself and union President Derek Fisher. Hunter, in a telephone interview with SportsBusiness Journal late Sunday evening, said he did not confront Fisher about him pushing for players to take a 50-50 split of basketball revenues on Friday morning, hours before talks to end the NBA lockout broke down. In a report published on Saturday, FoxSports.com's Jason Whitlock cited sources as saying that Hunter and "at least one member of the union’s executive committee" confronted Fisher on Friday morning to "make him reassess his 50-50 push"
