KCC ace Choi Jun-yong, who expressed his will to create the players' association, is not trying to fight. We just need a window for players' human rights

However, seriousness about basketball is a strong player.
He recently mentioned the creation of a players' council. There is no 'player council' in domestic professional basketball. There have been a few talks, but no player has led.
The superstars didn't come forward, and eventually fizzled out. He was also criticized for saying that men's basketball has a selfish mind.
Not only the NBA, but also the Japanese B League has a player union. When League B allowed two foreign players and mixed-race players to participate in the Asian quarter due to its active opening policy, the players' union protested.
However, there is no such window in Korea. It is a necessary part for men's professional basketball to develop further.
I met Choi Jun-yong, who participated in the Busan KCC Nagoya training on the 5th. I was able to talk with him about the creation of a player council.
He "I literally felt I needed a player council. To talk about this, you have to take a lot of time to talk about it in detail. Simply put, the goal is to find the human rights of the players. You're in a disadvantage?? A lot of bad things happen. I don't think the players have the power in Korea."
This is why Choi Jun-yong feels the need to create a player council.
He said "I don't mean to fight. The report is to create a window where players can be considered to become better players efficiently and a window where players can raise their voices to the outside world. After a lot of thought, I thought it was necessary, and I'm thinking deeply.'
It's not something that Choi Jun-yong can do alone. There must be active participation and support from professional players. To put it bluntly, it has yet to secure concrete support.
He "I've had conversations with a lot of players. There are various reactions, including players who just listen, players who like it, players who say they're overdoing it, and players who want to help. If it's something that someone should do rationally, I think it's right for me to do it.' Nagoya = Reporter Ryu Dong-hyuk sfryu@sportschosun.com
