Wayne Embry Autographs
Wayne Embry is one of the most accomplished and celebrated basketball players in history. Born in 1937 in Springfield, Ohio, Embry was a star athlete from a young age. After attending Miami University, he was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals in the 1958 NBA draft. Over the course of an NBA career that spanned over a decade, Embry played for five different teams, including the Cincinnati Royals, the Boston Celtics, and the Milwaukee Bucks. He was named an NBA All-Star five times and won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 1968.
Embry's success on the basketball court did not end when his playing career finished. After working in various management positions around the league, Embry became the first Black general manager in the NBA when he was hired by the Milwaukee Bucks in 1972. He later served as general manager for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors, and has been credited with helping to break down racial barriers in the league. In addition to his work in the NBA, Embry has been active in numerous philanthropic endeavors, including the establishment of the Wayne Embry Fellowship in Sports Media at Miami University, his alma mater.
Embry's impact on the world of basketball has been significant and long-lasting. He is widely regarded as a trailblazer for Black athletes and executives in sports, and his contributions to the sport have earned him numerous honors and awards. Embry was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999, and his jersey number, 23, has been retired by the Milwaukee Bucks in recognition of his accomplishments. Today, he continues to be a respected leader and a role model for young athletes and executives alike.
