Connie Hawkins was arguably the greatest basketball player that modern fans have never heard of! Falsely accused and wrongly convicted in one of college basketball's many gambling scandals, and blacklisted by the NBA, Hawkins became the ultimate victim of the racist, elitist, self-righteous "system" in place in 1960's America. This is the story of the rise and fall and, though it was too little too late, the ultimate redemption of a supremely talented yet simple man who just wanted to be allowed to play ball!
I read this first time at age 14, when my Basketball Love
Was Extreme.
And I received it via
Sports Illustrated Book o the Month Club.
But now, almost 50 years later,
It endured as
Both a Sports Book
But also as an
Indictment of American Aphartied
I was outraged by the mistreatments of Connie Hawkins when I was a white teenager in ArkLaTex decades ago.
His story still makes me MAD!
And SI had the Best Writers (of pretty much Anything the put pen to) back then.
In this Age of Crap Talk talk losing as Journalism,
I miss SI's once
Fundamental and Sound, Creative Writing
