'Sweetwater': A Biopic on NBA Pioneer Earl Lloyd.
Milwaukee Bucks player Bobby Portis portrays Hall of Famer Earl Lloyd, the first African American to play in an NBA game, in the biopic "Sweetwater." Portis, who had an interest in acting, was initially unable to accept the role due to the playoffs but later agreed to it. He filmed two scenes, one as a player and one in a suit at a news conference, and was the only current or former NBA player in the production. The film tells the story of NBA black pioneer Nat (Sweetwater) Clifton, who was one of three African-American players to integrate the NBA in 1950-51.
