Carmelo Anthony voted to player union's executive committee

TORONTO (AP) - New York Knicks All-Star Carmelo Anthony has been elected to the NBA Players Association's executive committee as a vice president.

Anthony was voted in by players Friday during a meeting at All-Star weekend.

The veteran joins close friends Chris Paul, the union president, and LeBron James, who was elected a vice president last year, on the nine-player committee.

Players and owners have until December to declare if they plan to opt out of the Collective Bargaining Agreement next July.
