Black Basketball History Month!... Hoopster Of The Week!...Jim Tucker!



The 'Hoopster Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

one of the very first Big Black Men

(6-7, 185) to play in the NBA, 

and who won a NBA 

Championship title and ring

in 1955 with teammate Earl Lloyd, and 

was the fastest to score a triple double 

in 17 minutes,

and so much more...

1955

...Jim Tucker!




Black Basketball History Month was

founded by Ralph Winge, D.D.S.

in 2025 to acknowledge, praise,

and hold high, with cheer, the untold 

numbers of International Black Men 

and Women, both past and present, 

that made us go, "Wow!...Whoa!...

...and...OMGosh!" in their nonstop, 

valiant, and always surprising, 

individual and team 

efforts to put the ball through the 

hoop the most, to win games and 

championships!
