How Elgin Baylor Stood Up to Racist Discrimination | RESPECT YOUR OGs

Elgin Baylor is in the Basketball Hall of Fame for what he did on the court but the Lakers legend made even more important contributions off the court by standing up to racial discrimination and speaking out to take a major step forward for Black players in the NBA.

Take a second and learn about the foundation for activism that Elgin Baylor set by bravely standing up --and sitting out -- to demand equal treatment. Orlando Magic forward Mo Bamba details the struggle that Elgin endured and why today's players must continue the work that Elgin and his peers started. #RespectYourOGs
