What's "Black Magic"? Never heard of it.

I should have explained, it's a look at those who broke basketball's color line, focusing on black colleges with features on Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Bob Love and others. A quote from Monroe, "So many times we forget about the people who do great things for us and we just go on and don't recognize them."

Oh, like how Texas Western (now UTEP) broke the color barrier when they won the NCAA Tournament in the mid-1960s.
