The 'Hoopster Of The Week'
for this week
goes to:
the Big Black Man, a 6-8, 190 pound
guard/forward who was regarded as the
top high school player in the U.S. by scouts
and coaches attending the 1984 Athletes
For Better Education basketball camp and
the first Chicago athlete to receive this
distinction, but he was shot and killed the
day before he was to appear for the camp,
and he was described as "Magic
Johnson with a jump shot,"
but we still give flowers and say the name of...
...Ben Wilson!
Black Basketball History Month,
celebrated in October each year, was
founded by Ralph C. 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!
The Founder of Black Basketball History Month,
Ralph C.Winge, D.D.S.,
and USC Dental School Graduate.
