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 professionaI basketbaIl was deraiIed- and allegations of Ieague bIackballing began to circulate. For the next decade, Lewis would continue to dominate on the playground and gyms back home in Los AngeIes while stubbornly chasing his NBA dream, leaving many to wonder "What ever happened to Raymond Lewis?"
