Report: LeBron James, Chris Paul deposed in NBPA lawsuit

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, his teammate James Jones and Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul were served with deposition notices in former National Basketball Players Association executive director Billy Hunter's lawsuit against the union, reports ESPN.com's Ethan Strauss.

Paul is the union president, James serves as vice president and Jones is the union's secretary treasurer.

Hunter originally sued the NBPA and u200bformer NBPA president Derek Fisher for breach of contract, saying he is owed more than $10.5 million in salary and benefits after he felt that the union tried to undermine his authority during the league’s 2011 lockout, and then conspired to have him fired after a new Collective Bargaining Agreement was completed.
