About this person
He began his college career with the Toledo Rockets, it was interrupted by World War II; following the war, he enrolled at UCLA. In 1947-1948, Minor was honored as an All-Conference guard basketball player at UCLA. Sportswriters in Gary, Indiana called him "The Wheelhorse of Steel City." He began shooting the first jumpers seen around the Great Lakes in December 1937 in his high school gym in Gary. By 1941, the shot was so unstoppable he used it to take the Froebel High School Blue Devils all the way to the Final Four of the Indiana state tournament, the "mother of them all." Eventually, he starred with the old Oakland Bittners of the AAU, and he was one of the first five African Americans signed in the NBA. Minor died in 1998.
