On this edition of Next Steps Forward, National Basketball Association (NBA) great Ray Scott joins program host Chris Meek. Scott was a six-foot-nine-inch forward and center who played his college basketball at the University of Portland before he was number-four overall pick in the 1961 NBA draft, chosen by the Detroit Pistons. Ray Scott had an 11-year career in the NBA and American Basketball Association with the Pistons, Baltimore Bullets, and Virginia Squires. He went on to become an NBA coach and was the first Black man to be named as the league's Coach of the Year. He's also the author of a riveting book, "The NBA in Black and White: The Memoir of a Trailblazing NBA Player and Coach." With such an amazing career during a momentous time of change in our country's history, Scott will discuss racism in the world of sports and in our country in general while imparting a healthy dose of positivity and applicable advice for both athletes and non-athletes alike.
