HSS Black History Month Special: NBA stars from HBCUs

Like any other pro sports league, the NBA is made up of players of different personalities, different perspectives and hale from different backgrounds. They all come from different areas of the country and now the world as the NBA has now become truly a global game. But in this episode, we will sharpen our focus to feature a special group of players and Hall of Famers that all have this one thing in common. In this special Black History Month episode Dana Auguster and Charles Combs are celebrating Black History Month and will highlight star players and Hall of Famers that came from Historically Black Colleges and Universities that helped grow the NBA to its current standing on the sports landscape. Those they will highlight include the greatest player in Chicago Bulls history......before Michael Jordan. Also a diminutive point guard that led the San Antonio Spurs to their first NBA championship. Charles and Dana will talk about a member of the Boston Celtics who won 10 NBA championships. Also a man who was part of the Warriors organization in different capacities for over 60 years. Also a player who was one of the most devastating scorers in NBA history during the 1970s who had a various amount of different nicknames and another player who authored not only one of the greatest moments of New York Knicks history, but the greatest sports moment in the history of Madison Square garden. Later in the show we will send a shout out to a coach who we consider the Eddie Robinson of college basketball. His coaching career spans nearly a half century at this Historically black college in North Carolina who compiled over 800 victories in his long career. Please like and subscribe to the show.
