Notes
Sports Encyclopedia roster CTL-SPE-0339. Curator's Judgment (DRAFT): Howard carries a double Chicago significance — a South Side public-school product who became a Fab Five cultural figure and, two decades later, a two-time NBA champion in Miami; his arc documents how Chicago school basketball fed a national cultural moment.
