The NBA in Black and White

Published: Tue, 08/02/22

Hey ,

Get ready for another episode of my LIVE radio show, What's Important Now; Making Time for What Matters Most, TODAY, Aug 2nd at 1:00pm Pacific. Please mark your calendars so that you can join me and my special guest, Ray Scott, as we talk about racism in the world of sports—from Brian Flores’s racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, to Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva being allowed to compete in the Olympics while African-American runner Sha’Carri Richardson was banned, to the prolonged detainment of Black WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia.

We will also discuss Ray's book, The NBA in Black and White. While we still have much work to do to make equality a reality, his book answers the question “How did we go from there being only white players in the NBA to the highest paid athletes in the NBA being Black?”
