Stokes tells the story of the NBAÎs first Black superstar, Maurice Stokes, who is not as well known as he should be in part because of a career-ending injury. In a 1958 game against the Minneapolis Lakers, Stokes, went down hard and hit his head, losing consciousness. At the time, there was no concussion protocol, and Stokes went back into the game. A few days later, he went into a coma and woke up unable to move his body from the neck down. Players did not have any sort of financial support in situations like this, and StokesÎs teammate Jack Twyman worked with other players and Milton Kutsher to put on a benefit game during the summer at KutsherÎs hotel in the Catskills. This game became an annual tradition, and Stokes was eventually able to travel and watch the game. Wilt Chamberlain said of Stokes, ÌHe had something transcending as a person. . . . Everybody loved him.Ê
