Someday, when 2020, COVID-19 and a few more years are behind us, Cynt Marshall and Jeannie Buss won’t be the only female Chief Executive Officers in the NBA.
And, someday, Marshall won’t be the only African-American woman who is a CEO in the league.
To that end, Marshall took part Monday in the FIBA-sponsored ADELANTE program, a global initiative aimed at grooming young women for positions of power in the future of the sports world. At a time when the NFL is working to amend the so-called “Rooney Rule” to give minorities more opportunities to be head coaches and in other positions, FIBA is starting at the grass roots.
