Black Basketball History Month!... Hoopster Of The Week!...Harold Hunter!

 

The 'Hoopster Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

the Big Black Guy, 5-10, 170, who became 

the first Black Man to sign an NBA Pro 

contract with the Washington Capitols in 

1950, and would go on to coach the U S 

Men's Olympic team, winning an exhibition 

against the Soviet national team, then he 

went on to coach at the New Orleans 

colleges Dillard, Southern, and Xavier, 

and so much more...

Harold Hunter receives a Trailblazer Award during NCCU's Centennial celebration in Dec. 2009.

...Harold Hunter!





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!
