DESCRIPTION:D.C. Mondays: Capital of BasketballJoin Andrea Chamblee for a v
 irtual discussion of Washington‚ D.C.’s impact on the sport of basketb
 all. John McNamara ’s book (with forward by Chamblee) The Capital of Bas
 ketball: A History of D.C. Area High School Hoops is the first-ever compre
 hensive look at the great high-school basketball players‚ teams and coac
 hes in the D.C. Metro area. Countless figures who have made a significant 
 impact on the sport have roots in the region‚ including E. B. Henderson
 ‚ the first African American certified to teach public school physical e
 ducation‚ and Earl Lloyd‚ the first African American to take the court
  in an actual NBA game. The city’s Spingarn High School produced two pla
 yers – Elgin Baylor and Dave Bing – who were recognized among the NBA

 high school in the country can make that claim.\n\nAbout Andrea ChambleeAn
