I saw the Globetrotters a couple of times when he was on the team. The guy was a wizard on the basketball court!

Another familiar face no longer with us...and how many of today's youngsters would know who he was, or appreciate his showmanship abilities?

RIP...

Went to a few games over the years, they were a lot of fun. Grandma got the confetti water bucket one time. :)

Interesting. Although they are the "Harlem" Globetrotters they, (according to Wikipedia) started out of Chicago.
