NBPA Statement on the Passing of Mark Eaton

NEW YORK, NY, May 29, 2021  “It may be cliched, but it's true: Mark Eaton was a giant, in every sense of the word. A long-time member of the NBPA Executive Committee right through his retirement from the league in 1994, Mark served his colleagues with grace and strength, and continued to watch over them through his service for the Retired Players Association. His imposing physical presence made a delightful match with his warm and thoughtful manner. We miss him already.”
