The NBA Foundation’s HBCU Fellowship is turning heads—and careers—with its fifth year of transforming student dreams into NBA reality. This elite 10-week summer internship sends top HBCU talent into NBA teams’ departments, building bridges to professional sports careers. With 27% of alumni now working in NBA offices, the program’s impact is undeniable. Alumni like Darren Lewis, now Pistons’ G League photographer, and Kyla Emory, headed to the NFL’s rotational program, credit the fellowship for launching their paths. Auzzy Byrdsell turned his Celtics internship into a Globe Development role, proving the power of persistence and networking. These success stories aren’t just wins—they’re proof that the fellowship doesn’t just open doors, it builds lifelong careers.
