The NBA’s Forgotten Men Are Brought Back to Life
- Share via
Richard Hoffer’s article on the black pioneers is indeed a different kind of journalism. I was moved to read about the difficulties these forgotten giants went through and how gracefully they fought to bring basketball to its exciting state today. Thank you for bringing us a very special chapter of the history of this game.
Hope you could reproduce this article on the eve of the NBA championship series.
