The National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), the only Association comprised of NBA, ABA, Harlem Globetrotters and WNBA alumni, will present three Louisiana Legends to special guests at Dentons Law Firm on January 15 at 6 p.m.        

LSU All-American and Atlanta Hawks great Rudy Macklin, who today works for the State of Louisiana helping young people live healthier lives -          Former New Orleans Jazz standout Aaron James, who starred at Walter L. Cohen High School in New Orleans before playing, coaching and serving as Athletic Director at Grambling University.      

New Orleans native Donald Royal, who starred at St. Augustine, led the University of Notre Dame and crashed boards alongside Shaquille O’Neal for the Orlando Magic before coming home to lead the New Orleans Recreation Department.
The event will be moderated by NBRPA President & CEO Arnie D. Fielkow, who previously served as New Orleans City Council President and Executive Vice President for the New Orleans Saints.  

“I’m excited to return home for a very special event that brings two of my passions together – NBA basketball and my adopted home state of Louisiana,” Fielkow said. “In my role as President & CEO of the NBA’s official alumni association, I’ve had the good fortune of getting to know many of the greatest players in basketball history and what’s made them a success both on and off the court. Rudy, Donald and Aaron are true Louisiana Legends from our association – exceptional men both on the court and in life after the game.”

Dentons is sponsoring the event for its private guests as part of the NBRPA’s “Success Series.” One of the most compelling stories within the NBRPA is the number of successes that have taken place throughout the post-basketball careers of former professional basketball players. These success stories, told and untold, are now shared by NBRPA Members through the Legends Success Series. Whether at a community events reaching underserved youth, high schools, colleges or a corporate setting, NBRPA Legends –the greatest players in basketball history –are uniquely equipped to inspire diverse audiences with the secrets of their on-and off-court success.
