It’s late but it’s been great / Gökhan Türe | Basket Magazine

Professional Basketball Players Association, which is one of the missing pieces of the puzzle in Turkish basketball, has finally turned from being a dream into a reality…

Of course, it’s too late… In the past, the initiatives that the leading names of Turkish basketball had initiated for the establishment of but failed, this time bore fruit under the leadership of Furkan Aldemir, one of the important values ​​raised by Turkish basketball.

With the invaluable members of the board of directors of the Association, who continue their active basketball life, the basketball community, especially the players, in disputes with their clubs or their managers. “cure for their troubles” I am sure that the presence of Salim Baki, who is known for being a legal consultant, will enable the association to grow and become stronger in the short and long term with actions parallel to its founding purpose.

In Europe and again in the world’s leading basketball countries, such formations, and even structures that have become more dynamic with player unions, have been serving professional players for many years… At this point, the Turkish Basketball Federation – in particular, the Vice President of President Hidayet Türkoğlu. I think he will embrace and support the Professional Basketball Players Association with all of its stakeholders – including Ömer Onan, Hüseyin Beşok on the Board of Directors, and many former basketball legends.

Turkish basketball “main element” I wish success and convenience in this meaningful journey to the Professional Basketball Association, which aims to find solutions to the legal problems of our professional players, who are in the past and still continue today, and which I believe will be a door for the players to take refuge when they have difficulties…

You have a nice way…
