Mark Chambers departs gay basketball leadership after 30+ years in the Sport.

“The National Gay Basketball Association takes great honor in announcing that NGBA founder Mark Chambers is stepping down from the organization’s president position to focus on the next chapter of his life,” a league statement read. “He has dedicated his life to the betterment of the LGBTQ+ basketball community, and we thank him for his dedication, vision, and tireless service.”

Chambers has led his organizations with a couple of key principles in sports. Yes, competition has long been important to Chambers. As it should be. Chambers was a competitor throughout his years, winning medals and losing heartbreakers like the rest of us. Lambda Basketball and the NGBA have fostered strong competition, as often witnessed at the Gay Games and Coady Roundball Classic.
