My favorite didn’t play for any of those franchises.

Curly Neal. Absolutely adored him when I was… young.

The Globetrotters in their heyday were huge. I can remember watching them fairly regularly in Wide World of Sports and when they had their own cartoon. And Meadowlark Lemon might have been the "big star" but Curly Neal was my favorite too.

Of course we all knew that the actual games were set up for the Globetrotters to win, and they used the same reams every game, but they were recognized and loved worldwide in the 70s, just like Ali and Pele.

Spoiler alert? I have a feeling that he adored you, too.

And if you dare to disagree?

Well as the kids would say today:

"No cap"

Nash. Got us two firsts and two seconds by going there, then didn’t do much for them.
