Zachary Clayton was a star guard who came to be known as one of the greatest two-way players of the Black Fives Era. As a member of the New York Rens, he was a leading scorer who helped the team finish a 122-win season with a championship in 1939. He went on to win a second title with the Washington Bears, before enjoying successful careers as both as a baseball player and boxing referee, the latter of which saw him refereeing the famed Ali-Foreman fight, The Rumble in the Jungle, in 1974.
