Hello again friends!

Thanks first for taking the time to read this message.

I have taken on a monstrous task of writing a book detailing the life and career of former NBA player and #1 Overall Pick of the 1956 NBA Draft, Sihugo Green.

If any of you have researched professional basketball from the 1950’s and prior, you know how difficult it is to find reliable information regarding specific games and events.

Following 4 months of research since my last post on the topic, I have gathered hundreds of box scores, quotes, photographs, and articles regarding Green. Nearly enough to start a baseline draft of the book. Now I am in search of information not so widely known or publicly available.

I am seeking out any information regarding Sihugo “Si” Green (Lewis, birth name) including:

Photographs - High School (Boys High, Brooklyn), Collegiate (Duquesne University, 1952-56), NBA (Rochester Royals, Cincinnati Royals, St. Louis Hawks, Chicago Packers, Chicago Zephyrs, Baltimore Bullets, Boston Celtics, 1956-1966), and EPBL (Easton Madisons (1957-58), New Haven Elms (1965-66), Wilmington Blue Bombers (1966-67)).

Box Scores and Statistics - High School (Boys High, Brooklyn), Collegiate (Duquesne University Freshman Year, 16-0).

Descriptions of Games - High School, Collegiate, NBA, EPBL (Including personal accounts, published articles and blogs).

Information on Military Enrollment - Served in the United States Army in 1958, stationed at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

Stories and Personal Accounts Regarding - The 1955 NIT Tournament Championship (Won by Duquesne vs. Dayton), The 1956 NBA Draft, Life at Fort Dix in the late 1950s, EPBL Basketball during the 1950-60s, The 1965-66 World Champion Boston Celtics, Personal career at Textile Systems Inc. (1967-1980, Owned by former Duquesne player, Hal Black).

I have now read two novels that include Green; Hoops in Connecticut: The Nutmeg State’s Passion for Basketball by Don Harrison, and Kings on the Bluff: Duquesne University’s 1955 National Championship Season by David Finoli and Bob Healy. If there are more texts on various topics that I am not aware of, please make them known!

Please message me at this account with any information or questions! Thank you again so much for your help, hopefully we can contribute to the preservation of NBA and basketball history, together.
