There was a time in NBA history when the court comprised only white players. The first non-white player was Wataru Misaka of Japanese-American origin way back in 1947. The real challenge was faced by Black players who, despite having the knack, were unable to play for their country. However, that changed in the 1950s when the trailblazer Earl Lloyd paved the way for future Black representation. During his career span, he played for 3 teams, won many accolades, and led the Syracuse Nationals to the NBA Championship in 1955. The Hall of Famer met his death in 2015, leaving behind a legacy in the form of a street, road, statue, basketball court, and college named after him. Don’t you agree that sport is a peaceful way of revolting?
