Скачать или смотреть EL PASO'S DON HASKINS STATUE

What's up everybody!? Check out my recent visit to the University of Texas El Paso or better known as UTEP for the Don Haskins statue unveiling. This was long overdue and had been in the process for some years but the bear is now forever immortalized in front of the arena named after him. Don Haskins made history in 1966 by starting five black players in the national championship game against the University of Kentucky wildcats. dethroning them and winning the universities only national title, during the height of the civil Rights movement. The statue was donated by Joanne and Dan Longoria and was sculpted by Brian Hanlon who has done multiple sculptures for the basketball hall of fame. It was a honor to be able to showcase Don Haskins and the university on my channel! Have you ever been to UTEP or heard any great stories about the bear??
