The guy could sure handle a round ball and a heck of an entertainer. I always wanted as a kid go see him play, but never got the chance. The Globetrotters defeated the Generals over 16,000 times, that is a lot of losing.

Really enjoyed watching them back when they were on Wide World of Sports when I was a kid. Great entertainers, especially how they interacted with kids.
