    A- Nat Clifton
    B- Chuck Cooper
    C- Earl Lloyd

    All three are among the first African American players to sign contracts with the NBA.
    As Wikipedia clarifies,

    * Cooper was the first black player to be drafted by an NBA team, in 1950.
    * However, Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton was the first black player to sign a contract with an NBA team.
    * Earl Lloyd was the first black player to actually play in an NBA game; his team started its 1950–51 season one day before Cooper’s and four days before Clifton’s.
