In preparation for the presidential innoguration on January 20th, I thought it would be fitting to talk about Chuck Cooper.
Chuck Cooper was the first black player to enter the NBA.in 1950. That was 3 years after Jackie Robinson broke the color line in Major League Baseball.
Cooper who went to school at Duquense signed with the Boston Celtics. A few weeks after appearing in a Celtic uniform Sweetwater Clifton (what happened to cool nicknames like that?) who was playing for the Harlem Globetrotters (pre-circus years), was signed by the NY Knicks.
