Raymond Lewis was one of the greatest basketball players that ever lived, his potential for greatness was in his grasp and he could have been remembered as a legend. Unfortunately, due to a series of events including a contract dispute with the Philadelphia 76ers and being seen as having a bad attitude, he was blackballed from the NBA.
However, for those who remember him from his teammates, his coaches, family and friends, they tell a different story of a man struggling to be recognised. Somebody trying to reach the top when everything else seemed to be against him.
Raymond Lewis: L.A. Legend is a documentary that tells the story of the rise and fall of one of basketball’s greatest players who has sadly had his name erased from sports history.
Having died in 2001 and there being little footage of him on the court or being interviewed, left up to the accounts of those closest to him to tell it as it was. You’d also be hard pushed to find somebody who had a bad word to say about him as everybody could see his talent and a man that wanted to do the best for his family.
Basketball fans and sports historians will be thoroughly interested in the story of Raymond Lewis because although they may have heard of him, those too young to know wouldn’t really have been able to appreciate his talent. This means that it’s down to people such as former L.A. Laker, Michael Cooper, NCAA College Rights icon Harry Edwards and former NBA general manager Pat Williams amongst many others to tell it as they remember it.
However, along with the rise to fame and glory comes an all too familiar story of life spiralling out of control. With a series of misunderstandings and perhaps a little bravado on Lewis’ account, it seemed like the wrong people got rubbed up the wrong way and that meant the end for his career.
Taken too soon and largely forgotten, Raymond Lewis L.A. Legend finally sets the record straight on how a man who wanted it all lost everything to chance.
