“We’ve watched them on tv and she loves it. Thought it would be a good family experience,” says Ty Ross.
For many of them, this was their first time ever meeting the Globetrotters.
“Seeing all the tricks and the shots,” says Brandon Manley.
“Just watching them play really and see all their tricks and stuff,” says Kinley Ross.
Johnny Thomas has been a Globetrotter for 4 years and says he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Being a Harlem Globetrotter, there’s nothing greater-You know you can be apart of a lot of different teams out there you can play overseas, you can play in the NBA, however you know being a globetrotter you wear the American colors-you know, everyone knows you, everyone respects you.”
Thomas says its all about being a positive role model on the court.
“Help them understand exactly what basketball is but at the same time let them understand that basketball is a game of learning and its a game of fun.”
