The NBA Foundation made its first big wave in its commitment to Black communities across the United States with a $2 million grant to several organizations that will drive engagement and development.
Its board of directors also announced Greg Taylor has been pegged as the first executive director. Taylor will take over in January after serving as a senior vice president of player development, having been involved with assisting players with professional and social development.
He joined the NBA in 2013 and will take over in the NBA Foundation, which was formed in October following discussions with the NBPA during the Orlando bubble.
