According to Jeff Zillget of USA Today Sports, LeBron James will not run for president of the NBA Players Union. This came to a surprise to many, as James just said recently that he was very interested.

"I think the union is going backwards, and it’s not in a good place right now. I think my voice could be huge in that situation."

Billy Hunter, former executive director, was fired, and Derek Fisher’s term as president ended. Now that we know James is now no longer running for the president position, the question still remains regarding who will replace both Hunter and Fishers’ empty positions.
