Boyd Batts (born August 1, 1955) is an American retired professional basketball player.
Batts played center for Thornridge High School in Dolton, Illinois, where his Falcons lost only one game during his junior and senior seasons and won back-to-back . The 1972 team was undefeated, with no team coming within 14 points of it, and is often cited as the greatest team in the history of Illinois high school basketball.
Playing with the National High School Player of the Year, Quinn Buckner, Batts dominated the 1971 and 1972 tournaments, scoring 141 points and grabbing 98 rebounds through the eight games. In the quarterfinal game in 1972, Batts scored 34 points on 15-of-20 shooting with 18 rebounds in a win over Collinsville. He then bettered that output with a 37 point (14-of-18) and 15-rebound performance in the championship game versus Quincy.
In 2007, the Illinois High School Association named Batts one of the 100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament.
His older brother, Lloyd Batts, was a star player for the University of Cincinnati, becoming the school's third-leading all-time scorer behind Hall-of-Famers Oscar Robertson and Jack Twyman.
College and Pro
Boyd Batts continued to play basketball beyond high school, attending Vincennes University in the 1972-73 school year. He then transferred for the 1973-74 school year to the University of Hawaii. Changing schools again, Batts had his greatest collegiate success at UNLV, where he played for legendary coach Jerry Tarkanian. As a junior and senior, Batts scored 514 points for the Runnin' Rebels, who won 53 of 60 games and qualified for back-to-back NCAA tournaments. A recent story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal ranked Batts as one of the 100 greatest UNLV players of all time.
After college, Batts was a seventh-round pick by the New York Knicks in the 1976 Draft. However, he only played professionally overseas.

Sidney Ming Fai Chow Tan (born May 20, 1949), also known as Chow Ming Fai is a social justice and environmental and human rights activist. He is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Career
A communications and media producer, Tan is involved with several movements. Perhaps best known for his long opposition to Canada's head tax and exclusion (1885-1947) imposed on Chinese immigrants, he also co-produces the weekly community television programs EarthSeen (since 1994) and Saltwater City Television (since 2001) and regularly contributes reports and political commentaries to the Coluimbia Journal and other print and new media publications.
Arrested several times for civil disobedience, he has been a community television volunteer since 1987.
In his run for public office as a civic Green Party candidate for Vancouver City Council in 1999, Tan received around 22,800 votes in the unsuccessful bid. He helped found the human rights group ACCESS Association of Chinese Canadians for Equality and Solidarity Society and the media literacy group Community Media Education Society, which begat ICTV Independent Community Television Co-operative, in which he has been a director.
When the Nigerian government, with what activists alleged to be the complicity of Shell Oil, hanged writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni activists in 1995, Tan and other activists organised the Ogoni Solidarity Network. After 72 consecutive weekly Boycott Shell rallies at Shell stations in Greater Vancouver, members helped build two primary schools in Niger River delta, the homeland of the indigenous Ogoni people.
His volunteer community service includes terms as vice-president of the Firehall Arts Centre, national director of the Chinese Canadian National Council and director of the Slim Evans Society, Environmental Fund of British Columbia and the British Columbia Environmental Network and its Educational Foundation. He recently helped organise the Head Tax Families Society of Canada, becoming one of its founding co-chairmen.
He is a Coalition of Progressive Electors candidate for Vancouver city council in the 2014 municipal election.
