Two Golden State Warriors fans were killed in a shooting following Thursday night's playoff game in Oakland. Two men, identified as residents of Contra Costa County, apparently were headed home from the game on Interstate 880 in a white 2010 Porsche Panamera when someone in a dark-colored SUV opened fire with a semi-automatic pistol, killing the driver, 30-year-old Christopher Beardon. The 28-year-old passenger, Terrance Marks, fled the car or was ejected as it struck the guardrail and veered into traffic, and he was struck and killed by another car. He also had been shot.

Embattled former National Basketball Players Association executive director Billy Hunter filed a lawsuit against the NBPA, NBPA President Derek Fisher and Fisher's publicist and business partner, Jamie Wior, seeking compensation and punitive damages. "The suit cites several instances in which Fisher, Wior and certain players undermined Hunter's efforts to win an agreement that would benefit a broad range of NBA players, breaching terms of his employment and interfering with his ability to do his job as Executive Director," a news release said. "Once the (2011) lockout ended with an agreement in line with the owners' demands, Fisher and Wior waged a campaign to terminate his employment without cause and in violation of his contract."

NBA players relieved Hunter, who had been under pressure for hiring practices and financial deals with his son's investment firm, of his duties during All-Star weekend Feb. 16 in Houston. "It's unfortunate that I must take this action against an organization where I had the privilege of working with many dedicated associates over 17 years," Hunter said in a statement. "I'm proud of our record of achievement on behalf of players during my tenure as Executive Director and will continue to stand up for their interests. But I cannot let stand attacks on my character or accept what has been done." USA Today Sports

Hunter is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages based on his termination, at the time of which he was owed $10.5 million in salary through 2015. The former executive director is seeking, at minimum, the money he was owed on his contract at the time of his termination. "That would be the bottom," a person with knowledge of Hunter's legal strategy told CBSSports.com. CBSSports.com

Hunter's lawsuit alleges Fisher "actively manipulated the investigation" by the firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison "by making false statements impugning Hunter's character." Hunter questions the validity of his termination "for cause" in the lawsuit because the reasons for his termination were not specified in the letter. He also uses Fisher's authority to sign his termination letter as proof Fisher also had the authority to sign Hunter to the contract in the first place. Fisher's signature also was on Hunter's 2010 employment contract, which the Paul- Weiss firm concluded in its report based on a nine-month investigation was not valid. CBSSports.com
