       [2020]., Juvenile, Abrams Books for Young Readers Call No: PICTURE NF ABO    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "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.
