Billy Hunter was reluctant to file a lawsuit against the NBPA, Derek Fisher and Jamie Wior during the playoffs, but a source says that his reputation had been damaged to the point of needing to respond with legal action.

The source added that Hunter is not interested in being reinstated as executive director.

"For Fisher," Hunter accuses in the suit, "the lockout could not end soon enough. For similar reasons, some of the most highest compensated NBA players ("Certain Players"), and their agents, shared Fisher's sentiment that the lockout must end."
