Those were the only basketball "games" worth watching. REAL talent

My friends and I used to try and dribble like him with little success. He was a great talent RIP.

That's too bad. Saw him when I was a pup.

I bet rightwinger played for the washington generals. And judging by his politics, he still does

Very few people know that Curly Neal never lost a game
Quite an accomplishment.

Sad to hear this, he was so much fun to watch on a basketball court.

I used to root for Red Klotz, the guy was 5 ft 7 and had a two handed set shot that was money in the bank.

He wasn't 107? He's been around for decades and decades.

I have a black and white picture somewhere of me, Curly, and Meadowlark Lemon at the Ventura College Gym when I was about 4 foot tall. Loved those guys in action.

Harlem Globetrotters did more than entertain: Curly Neal

90-year-old all-black basketball team helped bring the racial progress we see today.

The Globetrotters were all the rage in late 60s and 70s. Curley and Meadowlark were the best. Enjoyed watching them on TV beating the Washington Generals both live and on their cartoon show.

Good one! I thought he was older than 77, as well. He and Meadowlark Lemon were the heart of the Globetrotters for MANY years, and were a delight to watch. RIP, Mr. Neal.
