Louis Dunbar was one of the two greatest high school basketball players we had the pleasure to cover, both early 1970s superstars (Robert Parish was the other). He became "Sweet Lou" Dunbar, clown prince, then coach -- and legendary star -- of the Harlem Globetrotters.
From Jack Thigpen: Best high school basketball player I have ever seen. He could do it all, he was "Magic" long before Ervin Johnson.
ReplyDeleteFrom Bill Pou: I agree! I was mesmerized at his talent. I remember your colleague Rick Woodson once wrote a column titled: “Louis Dunbar --America’s best.”
ReplyDeleteFrom Kelvin Moffett: A very great basketball player. He was the original 6’9” point guard.
ReplyDeleteFrom Bruce Edwards: Always wondered how he would have done in the NBA as a point guard with the right team. He obviously was extremely talented.
