The month of February has symbolic value as the designated month when we celebrate, reminisce, educate, and preserve an important aspect of humanity: Black history. Black History Month is the time when people from all walks of life honor the legacies and achievements of Black women and men. As it pertains to the game of basketball, fans indulge in Black history not only in the sport itself but also in the lives of players. On the first day of February, I’d like to highlight some of the men who’ve donned Sixers jerseys and contributed significantly to Black history, culture, and identity.
A month to remember: Black History Month and basketball
