Honor the Legacy: The Earl Lloyd Story

Myles Lloyd is a little misguided and spoiled but loves the game of Basketball. He dreams of being in the NBA just to dunk on Carmelo Anthony and Lebron James. When he finds a dusty old chest in the basement that has an old Syracuse jersey and other treasures from the past he realizes his heritage is deeply rooted in the game he truly loves.

Myles becomes inspired by his grandfather’s journey and becomes determined to honor his name.

The Earl Lloyd Story looks at the life lessons learned and the incredible legacy of America's first African-American Basketball Player, Earl F. Lloyd on and off of the court.
