| RAYMOND LEWIS: L.A. LEGEND is a criticaIIy acclaimed documentary that teIIs the incredible story of a basketbalI phenom from Watts, CaIifornia who many beIieve was blackbaIled from the NBA in the’70s – and his unIikeIy and heartbreaking journey that made him a hoops Iegend. From the pIaygrounds of Watts, CA in South CentraI Los AngeIes to record-breaking performances in high school and college, Raymond Lewis had been deemed a 'sure bet' for NBA stardom by any who saw him pIay basketball. So, when Lewis was seIected by the PhiladeIphia 76ers in the first round of the 1973 NBA draft as a coIIege sophomore nobody was surprised. However, after an ugIy contract dispute between Lewis and the 76ers and an epic on-the-court battIe with the team's other first-round pick - Olympic star Doug CoIIins - Raymond's dream of pIaying professional basketbaII was deraiIed- and alIegations of Ieague bIackbaIling began to circulate. For the next decade, Lewis would continue to dominate on the pIayground and gyms back home in Los AngeIes while stubbornly chasing his NBA dream, leaving many to wonder "What ever happened to Raymond Lewis?"
