Bill Russell born 1934

The most trophied black player , ten rings all together and added one of the few who also won as a player + coach. He left coaching because he was asked by white owned media if he felt he was worthy to be a coach, after just winning the NBA championship as a coach, so he comprehended that no matter what he did, media would act like he still hasn't earned or still hasn't warranted, so he left.

Bill Russell's spirit flew as well, the most honest Black basketball in media ever

I PAraphrase Bill russell, use the link above to verify or read the whole"You have guys who have been pampered for 10-15 years. So you can't say this is an example. Or this is an average guy. Most athletes, my self included, are self centered. Maybe psychologically that is why we plays sports, but it is not normal. ... If i  am going to go into Harlem, and go to a play ground and say to kids, if you work hard you can do the same thing I did, that would be a lie. That would be unfair to myself and unfair to the kids. I can say to the kids, do your best and fight it everyday. But to say I am an example of the greatness of the country, that is not true. If I am going to be honest to myself, I am an exception and have treated as an exception for years and years. The problem is I am only treated as an exception in certain areas. "
