Earl Lloyd made history in 1950 when he became the first Black person to play in an NBA game. Despite having to face the difficulties of segregation, the two-time college All-American went on to enjoy a solid career with the Washington Capitols, the Detroit Pistons, and the Syracuse Nationals, with whom he won a championship in 1955. He came known for his defensive play on the opponent’s top scorer, rugged rebounding, and effective offensive game. | NBA
