Lyle Thompson is one of the greatest players in the history of the game. His dazzling abilities wowed fans while he was on his way to becoming the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer at Albany.

Now a professional lacrosse player, competing with the NLL’s Georgia Swarm and MLL’s Chesapeake Bayhawks, he continues to showcase the same skill that made him a star years ago.

Thompson, who was the target of ignorant remarks about his hairstyle at Wells Fargo Arena in January, reflects on the incident and how it may have advanced the conversation concerning Native American lacrosse players. He also touches on his joy of being a father.
