Do you know what year he was signed? jengod 01:42, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

"Cooper went on to have a fair NBA career. He played four years with the Celtics, then was traded to the Indiana Pacers before ending his career as a member of the Ft. Wayne Pistons."

Indiana Pacers were not in existence at that time

Incorrect assertion ignores the hundreds of Black men who played basketball at HBCUs in the 1920s and 30s See the CIAA Bulletins for the names of the Black men at 10+ HBCUs in the South who played basketball before Cooper was born.

This statement is incorrect: "He was the first African-American to play in a college basketball game south of the Mason-Dixon line"

I propose deleting this sentence or modifying it so that it is accurate.
