Black Basketball History Month!... Hoopster Of The Week!...Nat 'Sweetwater' Clifton!

The 'Hoopster Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to:

the first Big Black Man (6-6, 225) to sign a NBA Contract

for $2,500 in 1950 with the Knicks, and he also

played for the Harlem Globetrotters, 

while also playing Pro Baseball at First Base, 

and so much more...

...Nat 'Sweetwater' Clifton!

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!
