In 1950, Lloyd broke the color barrier to become the first African-American to play in the league, followed by a distinguished career. Lloyd endured intense discrimination before helping the Syracuse Nationals win the NBA Championship in 1955. He then became the league's first Black Assistant-Coach in 1965 and was inducted into the Naismith Hall-of-Fame in 2003. Entering the league six years before Bill Russell, Lloyd was often described as the“Jackie Robinson of basketball” and passed away in 2015 at the age of 86.
