In 1949, Abe Saperstein, owner and coach of the Harlem Globetrotters, staged an exhibition game in New York against the NBA champions, the Minneapolis Lakers. Ned Irish, owner of the New York Knicks, and his coach, Joe Lapchick, attended the match. The Lakers were dominated by the talented and inventive Black Globetrotters, while Sweetwater Clifton impressed the crowd with her graceful athleticism. Lapchick and Irish took the initiative to advocate for team integration, with the support of NBA president Maurice Podoloff. They worked with other team owners in the league to create a revolutionary historical moment
