Glory Road comes out tonight
this Basketball Movie tells the story of the College basketball team texas Western of how they played in 1966 for the Ncaa title game which they won over Kentucky. now the story is about Texas Western being the first college basketball team to start 5 black players against Kentucky's 5 White players.40 years ago it was a eye opener.today it's no biggie,but as little as 40 years ago it was a big deal for a college coach to have 5 starting Black Players.Kentucky had Pat Riley on that team.He told Film Maker Jerry Bruckenheimer about the film. all Black Players who have the choice to either play in College or go directly to the Nba owe the 5 Soul brothers a Debt of Gratitiude for paving the way.without what happen 40 years ago there might not be a commerical for the Lebrons.it's always important to pay respect to the people who came before us&open up doors that might not have been there.it wasn't that long ago.
