520    "Though not as widely known as other basketball legends, 
       hall-of-famer Elgin Baylor was one of the game's all-time 
       greatest players-an innovative athlete, team player, and 
       quiet force for change. A member of the early, scrappy NBA
       and one of the first professional African American players,
       Elgin (b. 1934) played in the late 1950s and early 1960s 
       for the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers, taking risks on 
       and off the court. Known for his acrobatic style of moving
       and shooting, he inspired others to get creative with 
       their game. But when traveling for away games, hotels and 
       restaurants weren't as welcoming of Elgin as they were of 
       his white teammates. Together, Elgin and his teammates 
       boycotted places practicing segregation until the entire 
       NBA followed suit. From picture book powerhouses Jen 
       Bryant and Frank Morrison, Above the Rim is a peek into 
       the early days of the NBA, a poetic telling of the life of
       an under-known athlete, and a celebration of standing up 
       for what is right"--|cProvided by publisher.
