Starting today, the NBPA will release three videos on social and digital platforms celebrating Clifton, Cooper and Lloyd. In the respective videos, Celtics guard Jaylen Brown will discuss the impact of Cooper, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry talks about the influence Lloyd had on him, and New York Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns reflects on Clifton. Throughout the upcoming 2025-26 season, the NBA will honor the legacy, courage and determination of the three pioneers who transformed the league and inspired countless individuals. The NBA also plans to host various events and recognitions, including tributes of all three during games and tentpole events, educational programming and activities in their respective communities. The children of Clifton, Cooper and Lloyd hope that it will soon be commonplace that the stories of their fathers will be known by all NBA players. With the three pioneers no longer with us, Chuck Cooper III, Kevin Lloyd and Clifton’s daughter, Jataun Robinson, will be representing their fathers as they are honored next season. -via Andscape / April 25, 2025
