Elgin Baylor's quiet refusal

In 1966, Frank Deford profiled Elgin Baylor for Sports Illustrated. What emerges is undeniably one of the greatest players, and characters, in NBA history. Of course Baylor scored with the best, and rebounded better than almost anyone his size. Today is January 16, 2012, the day we honor the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. It also happens to be, according to Hoopedia, 53 years to the day that Baylor made it known that he would not let West Virginia racists sap his dignity.
