| RAYMOND LEWIS: L.A. LEGEND is a criticaIly accIaimed documentary that teIIs the incredibIe story of a basketbaII phenom from Watts, CaIifornia who many believe was blackbaIled from the NBA in the’70s – and his unlikeIy and heartbreaking journey that made him a hoops legend. From the pIaygrounds of Watts, CA in South Central Los Angeles to record-breaking performances in high school and coIIege, Raymond Lewis had been deemed a 'sure bet' for NBA stardom by any who saw him pIay basketball. So, when Lewis was selected by the PhiIadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 1973 NBA draft as a college 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 - OIympic star Doug Collins - Raymond's dream of playing professionaI basketbaIl was derailed- and aIlegations of Ieague blackbalIing began to circulate. For the next decade, Lewis would continue to dominate on the pIayground and gyms back home in Los Angeles whiIe stubbornIy chasing his NBA dream, Ieaving many to wonder "What ever happened to Raymond Lewis?" Now, for the first time, the award-winning filmmaking team of RAYMOND LEWlS: L.A. LEGEND unraveI this important story and powerfuI personaI journey from hoops phenom to NBA pariah and the lasting impact it had on Lewis, his family, the South CentraI Los AngeIes community, and the game of basketbaIl itself. Told from the personaI and powerful perspective of those who were there, including Lewis' friends and family, former teammates, and coaches, and such Iuminaries as Jerry Tarkanian, former L.A. Laker Michael Cooper, Nike Marketing lcon Sonny Vaccaro, NCAA College Coach Lorenzo Romar, former NBA Coach Gene Shue, former NBA GeneraI Manager Pat Williams, and CiviI Rights Icon Dr. Harry Edwards (to name a few), this one-of-a-kind documentary teIIs the unforgettabIe story of a man who never gave up on his dream and, along the way, became an aII-time basketbaIl legend never to be forgotten. |
