Through a helpful youth coach, Paddy Hibbert, Roy’s mother, found a number for Marsha Mason Wonsley, whose son, Roger Mason Jr., played for the Washington Wizards. Wonsley told her about an organization called Mothers of Professional Basketball Players, or MPBP. An upcoming meeting was to be held in Las Vegas. Hibbert flew out from Washington, D.C., to seek advice. As the mothers introduced themselves one by one, Hibbert stood nervously. “I’m Roy’s mom,” she told the hundred-odd women who had assembled. “Little Roy. He’s 7 feet tall.”
Mason, who last month accused Kwatinetz of calling the league’s players “rich n—-rs,” adds in the suit that Kwatinetz’s insensitivity “is evidenced by his repeated discussions with company employees of his relationship with Steve Bannon and his defense of Bannon’s character.”
Mason, an 11-year NBA veteran who says he recruited big-name players to Big3, including Allen Iverson and Charles Oakley, blames his ouster on “a phony ‘independent investigation’ ” into alleged conflicts of interest with league investors — “a sham effort to make Mason a scapegoat for issues at the company caused by Kwatinetz,” according to the suit filed in Delaware Chancery Court.
