Today, black players compose more than eighty percent of the National Basketball Association's rosters, providing a strong and valued contribution to professional basketball. In the first half of the twentieth century, however, pro basketball was tainted by racism, as gifted African Americans were denied the opportunity to display their talents. Through in-depth interviews with players, their families, coaches, teammates, and league officials, Ron Thomas tells the largely untold story of what basketball was really like for the first black NBA players, including recent Hall of Fame inductee Earl Lloyd, early superstars such as Maurice Stokes and Bill Russell, and the league's first black coaches. They Cleared the Lane is both informative and entertaining, full of anecdotes and little-known history. Not all the stories have happy endings, but this unfortunate truth only emphasizes how much we have gained from the accomplishments of these pioneer athletes.Binding Type: Paperback

These silicone covers are easy to fit and even have a lanyard that comes with them. They offer 2 colors. And who doesn't want extra protection for their expensive apple remote? We all should have these. And the price is super affordable. A must have. They protect great and quality is 💯%

Perfect great price for 2
Color: Green Glow and Blue Glow, Color: Green Glow and Blue Glow
Fits perfectly on my 3rd gen Siri Remote. Product feels nice in the hand comes with 2 wrist straps as well for each cover. so far it’s durable easy to put on and doing what it’s supposed to. It glows just fine for those complaining you probably neeed to charge it under a light to activate the glow that’s what I did.

No more losing the remote!
Color: Green Glow and Blue Glow
My life would end in chaos every time I would sit down to watch tv. The issue with the Apple TV remote is that it blend in so well to my couch and easily slips into the cushions. You can probably relate to this scene: looking for the Apple TV remote, all of a sudden all the couch cushions are on the floor strewn about and you still can’t find the remote, only to realize it was in your couch blanket. Well, will the silicone cover,( which fits very snugly, I might add) does a great job of adding some friction to the remote so it doesn’t easily slide around. The strap while convenient isn’t used unless it’s to grab the remote— but never strapped to my wrist. I love that I have one for both remote controls on the Apple TVs in my home. The colors do stand out. Would recommend.

Works perfect, picasso.
Color: Green Glow and Blue Glow
Good, makes it easier to find the slippery Apple TV remote. The grip sleeve stays on and has a little wrist strap with a clip that is fun to fiddle with when you’re bored or swing around on your finger. The cut outs for the buttons on the side and charging port are perfect and don’t get in the way. Easy 10/10 for me.
