milehiiu Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Curly was magic when it came to dribbling a basketball. Curly Neal and Haynes I had the honor of watching Curly twice, when the Globetrotters came to Denver.

5fouls Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Loved watching the Globetrotters when they came to Louisville in the 1970s. I may be biased, and maybe it's because I'm not a kid anymore, but I think that time-frame is when they were their most entertaining. Recent Globetrotter squads just don't seem to have the same magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I could look it up, but I know my HSN brethren will have the answer. Who was Curley's teammate that could shoot half court hook shots? Is he still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And STORY : Harlem Globetrotters Legend Fred 'Curly' Neal Dead At 77 I was privileged to see them in the early 70's at Ball State. Great fun with some very talented individuals. Who can forget them or their arch nemesis, the Washington Generals led by Red Klotz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
