Steph, KD and others help get retired NBA players the same health insurance as active players

Recently The Hoops Hype podcast had Spencer Hayward on who is currently chairman of the board of directors for the National Basketball Retired Players Association.  Hayward mentioned that Steph Curry, Lebron James, Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade among others committed to pledge a combined $15 Million dollars a year that retired NBA players could have the same health insurance as them.

“I’d been pushing for health insurance for our players because once the players leave the game, the health insurance is taken away…LeBron James, Steph Curry, Dwyane Wade, and Kevin Durant, just to name a few, said hey, we can help you guys out and get you some insurance. They dropped $15 million a year for all of us to have the health insurance they have.”
