Hal Greer (pictured as #15 for Philadelphia) was a basketball star from Huntington. He played at Frederick Douglass High during segregation and became the first Black athlete at Marshall College (now University). There, he scored 1,377 points and set a school record for field goal percentage.

After college, Greer played 15 seasons in the NBA with the Syracuse Nationals and Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 19.2 points per game and becoming a ten-time All-Star. His 1967 team won the NBA championship and ended the Boston Celtics' long winning streak.

Greer was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, and his number was retired by the 76ers. In his honor, Huntington renamed a street Hal Greer Boulevard, and Marshall University unveiled a statue of him in 2021.
