Wataru 'Wat' Misaka, the first non-white athlete to play in the NBA, has died. He was 95. - NBCAsianAmerica
In 1944, his first year playing for the University of Utah, he scored four points to help the team defeat Dartmouth 42-40 in overtime at Madison Square Garden at the NCAA championship. At the parade celebrating the school's victory, Misaka's mother informed him he'd been drafted into the U.S.
