Coaches kept telling Maxwell Pearce to stick to the fundamentals. Good thing he didn't listen. A Harlem Globetrotter and artist, he went on to build a global reputation for gravity-defying dunks and a theory that the same playful rule-breaking is what powers progress in every field. In this joyful talk, he makes the case that play isn't the opposite of serious work — it's the secret ingredient behind it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Let’s catch-up on a variety of sports action from the past weekend. NBA 1st Round Playoffs and the Tragic Orlando Magic When a basketball team (at any level) misses 23 straight shots during a game, that team is more than likely going to lose. The NBA’s #8 seed Eastern Conference Orlando Magic was at home on Friday night. They were leading the #1 Detroit Pistons 3-2 in their best-of-seven series. The Magic raced out to a 60-38 halftime advantage and had their home crowd ready to celebrate the team’s biggest first round upset in history. Then they played the second half. The Orlando Magic couldn’t hit the proverbial broad side of a barn over the final two quarters. Orlando scored just 11 points in the third quarter. The fourth quarter produced a paltry eight points. At one point, the Orlando Magic missed 23 consecutive shots. The tiny 19-point second half total in Game 6 was the lowest ever recorded in the NBA’s long playoff history. Detroit was easily able to overcome the 22-point halftime deficit and won 93-79 to even the series at three games apiece. Sunday night’s Game 7 found Detroit back at home to win the finale 116-95. The #1 East seed Pistons advance into Round 2 this week against #4 Cleveland. On Monday morning, the Orlando Magic announced the firing of fifth-year coach Jamahl Mosley. As I have mentioned over the years, it’s a lot easier for a professional sports team’s ownership to fire the head coach rather than an entire roster of players. That coach wasn’t on the floor missing 23 shots in a row in Game 6. The Boston Celtics did, indeed, die by the 3-point shot Just like Orlando, the #2 Eastern Conference #2 seed Boston Celtics took at 3-1 series lead before losing three straight games to the #7-seeded Philadelphia 76ers. As we covered a few weeks ago, the Boston Celtics thrive or die by their ability to make 3-point shots. The NBA’s fourth-most prolific 3-point shooting team during the regular season clanked home just 13 of 49 long-distance shots (27%) in a 109-100 Game 7 home playoff loss to Philadelphia Saturday night. The Celtics blew a 3-1 playoff advantage for the first time in the team’s storied history. Boston had been 32-0 all-time when leading by such a wide margin. This year’s Celtics also lost three of the four games played in their hometown at historic Boston Garden. Philadelphia 76ers fans rejoiced after their team finally won a decisive Game 7 playoff game on the road in Boston for the first time since Julius “Dr. J.” Erving played for the Sixers in 1982. Saturday night’s Game 7 in Boston saw the visiting 76ers zoom to a 30-15 first quarter advantage and never relinquish that lead. Boston played Game 7 without injured star forward Jayson Tatum. He was dealing with soreness in one of his legs and was held out of the game as a precaution. Tatum and his teammates will now have five months to recover, practice their outside shooting, and, perhaps, consider adding a legitimate inside presence prior to next season. The Houston Rockets failed to achieve a first round lift-off for the 2nd straight year Houston’s Rockets sizzled during the 2024/2025 regular season but fizzled in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The team quickly reacted by adding veteran sharpshooter Kevin Durant to beef-up the Rockets’ scoring during the 2025/2026 season. Unfortunately, the NBA #5 Western Division seed Rockets crashed and burned in the first round of the playoffs once again. In the first two games against the #4 Los Angles Lakers, Kevin Durant sparkled on offense. Unfortunately, the other four Houston starters seemed to stand around and wait for their designated shooter to carry the offensive load. Durant was injured during Game 2 and didn’t play again for the rest of this series. The Rockets looked likely to win Game 3 but then blew a six-point lead in the final 30 seconds to go down 0-3 against 41-year old LeBron James and the Lakers. Houston found a way to win games 4 and 5 before getting drubbed 98-78 on Friday night in Los Angeles to conclude their season with a final loss. The Lakers played the entire series without two of its key starters – Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. Houston may be looking at a few shake-ups for the roster and, perhaps, the team’s coaching staff after a second straight one-and-done playoff performance. PGA Tour – Cameron Young put the sleeper hold on the rest of the field in Miami The PGA Tour finally returned to Miami’s famed Doral Country Club Blue Monster golf course this past week. While some golfers may have trembled while standing on the tee at the tour’s most difficult par-4 #18, stoic Cameron Young seemed to love every minute of it. The bearded 28-year old golfer with the signature pause at the top of his backswing was winless in his first five seasons on the PGA Tour. Notably, though, Young posted six top ten finishes in the tough golf majors in his early years on the tour. Cameron Young was overdue to win. Sundays’ victory became Young’s third title in the past nine months. He broke through with his first PGA victory in August, 2025 in Greensboro. Young added The Player’s Championship title in March for career win #2. Cameron Young told reporters Sunday, “When the golf course is difficult and the conditions are difficult, that tends to make it easier for me mentally. Young led from start to finish in all four rounds of the Cadillac Championship tournament at Doral. His 19-under par total was six shots clear of World #1 golfer and runner-up Scottie Scheffler. Cameron Young even called a one-stroke penalty on himself on the second hole as his golf ball wobbled on the fairway. He said, “Your heart sinks when you see it move, but it moved. That’s part of what golf’s about. There’s no one who is going to give me a penalty there but myself.” Keep your eye on this golfer in the upcoming PGA Championship, US Open, and The Open at Royal Birkdale in England. Savannah Bananas packed 102,000 BananaFans into Texas A&M’s Kyle Field Saturday It’s not football season yet, but you wouldn’t have known that in College Station, Texas on Saturday night. Kyle Field is the massive football stadium home of the Fightin’ Texas Aggies. On Saturday night, the stadium was filled with 102,000 fun seekers as baseball’s crowd-pleasing Savannah Bananas arrived to play (of course) the Texas Tailgaters. “BananaBall” has been sweeping the nation with sell-out crowds everywhere they play. This talented traveling team utilizes a number of “get the fans involved” humorous antics to help make baseball games more fun to watch. It’s baseball’s equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters – except on steroids. Every Savannah Bananas baseball game becomes a party unto itself. The actual game (as if it really mattered) was won by the Texas Tailgaters 4-3. Speaking of baseball, NY Yankees’ legendary radio announcer John Sterling passed away early Monday at age 87 He was best known for his unabashed enthusiastic radio calls for his beloved New York Yankees. John Sterling’s signature game-ending calls of “The….Yankees win!” were enjoyed by fans in the New York City metropolitan area for 36 years beginning in 1989. At one point, John Sterling didn’t miss a Yankees radio broadcast for 5,060 consecutive regular season games. That was a span covering more than 30 seasons. The New York Yankees posted Monday, “John Sterling breathed life and excitement into Yankees games for 36 years while wearing his passion for baseball and the Yankees on his sleeve. The symmetry between John and his audience was both undeniable and magical.” John Sterling was at the microphone for the last five New York Yankees World Series championships. He retired in 2024 after the season ended. Sterling required heart surgery early in 2026. John Sterling’s enthusiasm and talent behind the mic will be sorely missed by all of us baseball fans.

Just another Friday night in the Steel Capital of the world, and the defending World Series champions welcome the St Louis Cardinals to Pittsburgh? Think again.The Pirates' 1960 World Series win feels like it is from another era, as the team struggled through injuries and performance, but was still adrift in the middle of the National League. The NL is looking tired as well, stuck with 8 teams and a 154-game season, waiting for the expansion and a league-wide draft to rip up the old order.Yet the new order is on the field tonight, as the Forbes Field crowds witness what we now know is a Hall of Fame showcase: the legendary Stan Musial in the twilight of his career, the power of Roberto Clemente on his way to his first batting title, the defensive wizard Bill Mazeroski, and a young, ferocious Bob Gibson. It's Bob Gibson who stands out. In 1961, Gibson unlocked his pitching, moving from a sophomore-year ERA of 5.61 to throwing 10 complete games and posting an ERA of 3.24. He's tonight's starting pitcher, throwing to the young Tim McCarver, also on his way to changing the baseball world forever.Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from June 16, 1961.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ri‑Karlo Handy. Interview Overview Guest: Ri‑Karlo HandyHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations MasterclassPrimary Focus: Handy’s role as showrunner/executive producer of Harlem Globetrotters: Secrets of the City His media career spanning 25+ years Representation, legacy, trust, and mentorship in the entertainment industry The mission and impact of the Handy Foundation Purpose of the Interview The interview serves multiple purposes: Promote Harlem Globetrotters: Secrets of the City on aspireTV+ by explaining what makes the series unique within the travel and lifestyle genre. Reposition the Harlem Globetrotters as a cultural, historical, and global brand beyond basketball—especially significant during their 100‑year legacy. Highlight pathways into the entertainment industry, particularly for Black creatives, through mentorship, trust-building, and skills-based training. Showcase Handy’s philosophy on leadership and opportunity, emphasizing responsibility, legacy, and access. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Redefining the Travel Show Format Secrets of the City goes beyond sightseeing. The show explores how Black people live, connect, and thrive globally, especially through expat communities and diaspora culture. Episodes emphasize how to move through a city, not just visit it—using insider access, cultural context, and lived experience. Takeaway: Travel content is more powerful when rooted in identity, history, and authenticity. 2. Harlem Globetrotters as Cultural Ambassadors Handy frames the Globetrotters as “ambassadors of goodwill”, not just entertainers. They represent joy, diplomacy, and cultural exchange—appearing everywhere from the Vatican to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. The show captures their off‑court personalities, maturity, and global influence. Takeaway: The Harlem Globetrotters are a living Black institution with worldwide reach, relevance, and responsibility. 3. Sustaining a 100‑Year Black Brand The Globetrotters predate the NBA and helped globalize basketball. After fading from TV prominence in the 1990s–2000s, a post‑pandemic strategy brought them back into media. Handy sees longevity itself as a lesson—few businesses, especially Black‑owned legacies, endure a century. Takeaway: Longevity comes from reinvention, relevance, and honoring history while adapting to the present. 4. Mastery, Discipline, and Authentic Skill Globetrotter performances are not “fake” or staged. Players must actually make the shots and execute at elite athletic levels. Handy compares their mindset to elite athletes like Steph Curry—hours of practice for moments of excellence. Takeaway: Entertainment still demands real mastery; excellence behind the scenes creates effortless magic on screen. 5. Trust as the Real Currency of Business Handy repeatedly emphasizes trust over talent as the foundation of his career. His progression—from editor to producer to network executive—came from delivering consistently on promises. Relationships, reliability, and integrity enabled him to control projects and earn leadership roles. Takeaway: Skills open doors, but trust keeps them open. 6. Mentorship and the Handy Foundation Handy formalized his long-standing mentorship work into the Handy Foundation (founded 2020). The foundation focuses on post‑production training, an area with limited Black representation. Started with 8 trainees; now has 400+ alumni working on major films and TV shows. The program is now a nationally recognized registered apprenticeship with the California Film Commission. Takeaway: Access—not just ambition—is the missing link for many aspiring creatives. Notable Quotes “Our business is less about skills and creativity and more about trust.” “A lot of times the first opportunity is the hardest one to get.” “They’re not pretending to make the basketball. You’ve actually got to make the shot.” “There aren’t a lot of Black folks in post‑production because they don’t get the opportunity to learn those skills.” “How many Black businesses can we say are 100 years old?” “They are ambassadors of goodwill. You’ve got to be a good person to be a Globetrotter.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La Euroliga se acerca a su fin con el Barça en horas bajas, Aday Mara hace historia y el ‘tanking' domina los últimos partidos de la NBA. José Manuel Puertas repasa esta semana el epílogo de una Euroliga que, a una jornada de finalizar, ya tiene al Valencia Basket con factor cancha asegurado, mientras el Real Madrid lo tiene cerca y el Barça pelea por entrar al menos en el ‘play-in'. Junto a Lucas Sáez Bravo y Óscar Herreros se analiza el momento de los tres equipos españoles con especial atención al catalán, donde el técnico Xavi Pascual sigue lanzando mensajes que ponen en duda su continuidad. Además, la crisis del Gran Canaria acabó en destitución de Jaka Lakovic y la llegada del ‘Che' García al banquillo, pero los insulares ya están al borde del descenso en la Liga Endesa. Además, Aday Mara es ya historia del baloncesto español tras ganar la NCAA con la Universidad de Michigan. Orlando Antigua, entrenador ayudante de la Universidad de Illinois, rival de Michigan esta temporada y que también alcanzó la ‘Final Four', analizará el gran éxito del zaragozano y desvelará detalles sobre su historia personal, con paso incluido por los Harlem Globetrotters y con un episodio vital que marcó su vida cuando recibió, como adolescente, un disparo en la cabeza. Mientras, la NBA llega también a su recta final, con polémica sobre la gran ausencia de jugadores entre los equipos que quieren un buen puesto para el ‘draft' y aquellos que echan cuentas para los playoff. John Vázquez repasará lo que se cuece al otro lado del Atlántico a unos días de que empiece la lucha por el anillo. Finalmente, Andrea Blez comentará lo más destacado en la doble jornada disputada en la Liga Femenina Endesa y dejará detalles sobre la ‘Final Six' de la Euroliga, que se celebra en unos días en Zaragoza.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ri‑Karlo Handy. Interview Overview Guest: Ri‑Karlo HandyHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations MasterclassPrimary Focus: Handy’s role as showrunner/executive producer of Harlem Globetrotters: Secrets of the City His media career spanning 25+ years Representation, legacy, trust, and mentorship in the entertainment industry The mission and impact of the Handy Foundation Purpose of the Interview The interview serves multiple purposes: Promote Harlem Globetrotters: Secrets of the City on aspireTV+ by explaining what makes the series unique within the travel and lifestyle genre. Reposition the Harlem Globetrotters as a cultural, historical, and global brand beyond basketball—especially significant during their 100‑year legacy. Highlight pathways into the entertainment industry, particularly for Black creatives, through mentorship, trust-building, and skills-based training. Showcase Handy’s philosophy on leadership and opportunity, emphasizing responsibility, legacy, and access. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Redefining the Travel Show Format Secrets of the City goes beyond sightseeing. The show explores how Black people live, connect, and thrive globally, especially through expat communities and diaspora culture. Episodes emphasize how to move through a city, not just visit it—using insider access, cultural context, and lived experience. Takeaway: Travel content is more powerful when rooted in identity, history, and authenticity. 2. Harlem Globetrotters as Cultural Ambassadors Handy frames the Globetrotters as “ambassadors of goodwill”, not just entertainers. They represent joy, diplomacy, and cultural exchange—appearing everywhere from the Vatican to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. The show captures their off‑court personalities, maturity, and global influence. Takeaway: The Harlem Globetrotters are a living Black institution with worldwide reach, relevance, and responsibility. 3. Sustaining a 100‑Year Black Brand The Globetrotters predate the NBA and helped globalize basketball. After fading from TV prominence in the 1990s–2000s, a post‑pandemic strategy brought them back into media. Handy sees longevity itself as a lesson—few businesses, especially Black‑owned legacies, endure a century. Takeaway: Longevity comes from reinvention, relevance, and honoring history while adapting to the present. 4. Mastery, Discipline, and Authentic Skill Globetrotter performances are not “fake” or staged. Players must actually make the shots and execute at elite athletic levels. Handy compares their mindset to elite athletes like Steph Curry—hours of practice for moments of excellence. Takeaway: Entertainment still demands real mastery; excellence behind the scenes creates effortless magic on screen. 5. Trust as the Real Currency of Business Handy repeatedly emphasizes trust over talent as the foundation of his career. His progression—from editor to producer to network executive—came from delivering consistently on promises. Relationships, reliability, and integrity enabled him to control projects and earn leadership roles. Takeaway: Skills open doors, but trust keeps them open. 6. Mentorship and the Handy Foundation Handy formalized his long-standing mentorship work into the Handy Foundation (founded 2020). The foundation focuses on post‑production training, an area with limited Black representation. Started with 8 trainees; now has 400+ alumni working on major films and TV shows. The program is now a nationally recognized registered apprenticeship with the California Film Commission. Takeaway: Access—not just ambition—is the missing link for many aspiring creatives. Notable Quotes “Our business is less about skills and creativity and more about trust.” “A lot of times the first opportunity is the hardest one to get.” “They’re not pretending to make the basketball. You’ve actually got to make the shot.” “There aren’t a lot of Black folks in post‑production because they don’t get the opportunity to learn those skills.” “How many Black businesses can we say are 100 years old?” “They are ambassadors of goodwill. You’ve got to be a good person to be a Globetrotter.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What does it take to pivot from professional athletics to a career in health care? Dr. James E.K. Hildreth explores that path with Donovan Gilmore, a Harlem Globetrotter and current Meharry School of Dentistry student (Class of 2027).

TVC 728.6: Actor, author, and documentary filmmaker James Rosin talks to Ed about how the Philadelphia SPHAs, the first professional basketball team in Philadelphia, were also one of the best teams on the East Coast during the first part of the twentieth century, competing against—and often beating—some of the best teams in the country, including the Harlem Globetrotters; and how the SPHAs eventually morphed into the Washington Generals, the traveling exhibition team that became the Globetrotters' permanent perennial opponent. Jim's documentary Philly Hoops is available on DVD through Amazon.com as well as MovieZyng.com. Photo of the SPHAs courtesy Encylopedia of Greater Philadelphia.

News of this week’s passing of former University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL-Lafayette) basketball star Dwight “Bo” Lamar sparked a lot of memories. Lamar was 74 and passed away at a nursing home in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. College basketball in Louisiana when Lamar played during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s was filled with dominant scorers and very little defense. The word “defense” seemed to have been banned during this period. Explosive offense had become the name of the game. This brief period was defined by expert marksmanship and crowd-pleasing showmanship. The high scoring antics of college basketball players like LSU’s “Pistol” Pete Maravich and the University of Houston’s “Big E” Elvin Hayes (born in Rayville, Louisiana) captured the imagination of fans. Less than an hour west of Pistol Pete Maravich and LSU, Bo Lamar and the USL Ragin’ Cajuns were entertaining fans in front of packed basketball arenas, too. Lamar was a virtual basketball scoring machine for the Ragin’ Cajuns from 1969-1973. He averaged 31.2 points per game over his entire four-year college basketball career. A first-team All-American as a senior, he was joined on that squad by future basketball Hall-of-Famers Bill Walton of UCLA and David Thompson of North Carolina State. The 6’2” Bo Lamar had one of the best jump shots I have ever seen. He elevated off the floor with ease and then lofted up a high arcing shot from long-distance. This came nearly 20 years before college basketball would adopt the three-point shot. He would have averaged over 40 points per game with today’s three-point line. Bo Lamar glided down the basketball court with ease in leading USL’s frantic fast breaks. He bombed-in a school-record 62 points during a game against Northeast Louisiana University (now UL-Monroe). Scoreboards routinely registered more than 100 points during Ragin’ Cajun basketball games in this era. A 1984 Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame inductee, Bo Lamar opted to play professional basketball for the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors in 1973. He scored 50 points in one game during his rookie year while averaging nearly 21 points per game. After several years in the pro ranks, Lamar later became part of the radio broadcast team for Ragin’ Cajuns basketball games. Mike Green at Louisiana Tech became one of Bo Lamar’s biggest foes If you have watched current NBA star Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets, he looks and plays like a modern version of former Louisiana Tech basketball star, Mike Green. The 6’10” Green played for the Bulldogs from 1969-1974. Mike Green was listed as a center but possessed an incredible outside shooting touch to stretch the opposing defenses. Like Bo Lamar at USL, Green was a prolific college basketball scorer. He averaged 31 points per game as a senior at Louisiana Tech. Add a 15.4 rebounds per game career average, and you understand why Mike Green earned the AP’s Small College Player of the Year award in 1973. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1996. A friend of mine attended Louisiana Tech in 1971 during the Mike Green basketball era. He recalled a highly anticipated home game against high-scoring Bo Lamar and the nationally ranked Ragin’ Cajuns. Fans lined up for hours hoping to gain entrance to watch this game. Mike Green scored 22 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and blocked numerous shots as the Bulldogs raced to 103-94 win at Tech’s Memorial Gymnasium. Future Louisiana Tech Hall-of-Fame women’s basketball coach Leon Barmore also witnessed that encounter. He recalled, “It was the greatest game ever at Louisiana Tech – bar none!” While he was a sophomore, Mike Green’s Louisiana Tech team averaged 101 points per game for the entire season. Defense? What defense? Mike Green passed away in 2018 at the age of 67. Time to celebrate Centenary College center Robert Parish! Shreveport’s 7’1” center Robert Parish took Louisiana’s top college basketball player baton from Bo Lamar and Mike Green during the early 1970’s. Robert Parish played high school basketball in the late 1960’s during a difficult time when federal integration mandates forced some schools to close. Parish and his fellow Union High School students suddenly found themselves being bussed to nearby Woodlawn High School. Though this period caused angst for both students and teachers, Woodlawn’s basketball team morphed into a state powerhouse with the addition of talented center Robert Parish. He led Shreveport’s Woodlawn High School to the Class 4A state basketball title as a senior in 1972. Parish was named a national high school All-American. To the dismay of national college recruiters, Robert Parish chose to stay in Shreveport and attend Centenary College. As a freshman, Parish lined-up to play in one game against Louisiana Tech’s talented senior big man Mike Green. Green dazzled the crowd by scoring 40 points on the young Robert Parish. Robert Parish continued to work and improve his game every year. He collected a school record 33 rebounds in one game. Parish’ gifted shooting touch produced 25 points per game for Centenary. His dominant offensive and defensive play as a senior led to a first-team college basketball All-America selection. Parish became a first round draft choice of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. Traded four years later to the Boston Celtics, Robert Parish (along with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale) won three NBA titles and played 21 seasons in the NBA. Parish was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Fame in 2003. Have you heard of Olympic gold medal winner Glynn Saulters? Today’s story about talented Louisiana college basketball stars of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s wouldn’t be complete without mentioning an Olympic gold medal winner. In the year 1968, Northeast Louisiana University (now ULM) basketball star Grady Glynn Saulters was nearly invisible on the national college basketball stage. The Lisbon, Louisiana native didn’t possess the blazing court speed of Southwestern Louisiana’s Bo Lamar or the shot-blocking skills of Louisiana Tech’s Mike Green. Oh, but Glynn Saulters could shoot a basketball with the best of them. He became a prolific college scorer. Saulters averaged a nifty 31 points per game as a senior in 1968 to lead the Gulf States Conference in scoring. Not too shabby. The Olympics games were being held in Mexico City a few months following Saulters’ senior season. The year 1968 was an extremely politically charged period as Dr. Martin Luther King and presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy were assassinated. Several top college basketball players such as Lew Alcindor and Elvin Hayes decided not to even try-out for the US Olympic team in 1968. That opened the door for NLU’s 6’2” guard Glynn Saulters to qualify for the Olympic basketball team. His competition included stars like high-scoring Pistol Pete Maravich of LSU and Niagara guard Calvin Murphy. Surprisingly, neither Maravich nor Murphy made the final cut. Ditto for Kentucky’s Dan Issel and Purdue sharpshooter Rick Mount. But Glynn Saulters from tiny Class “C” Lisbon High School in north Louisiana made the US team. Legendary college basketball coach Hank Iba’s “No Name” US Olympic basketball squad was comprised of several small college role players and just a few top college stars. Future NBA Hall-of-Fame forward Spencer Haywood and guard JoJo White led the US team in scoring. Glynn Saulters and the US Olympic team went a perfect 9-0 in Mexico City to bring home the gold medal. Glynn Saulters was inducted into the ULM Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1978 and into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1981. Don’t forget “AJ from the Parking Lot!” New Orleans’ Cohen High School basketball player Aaron James journeyed northward from the Crescent City to Grambling State University to begin a memorable college basketball career. The 6’8” sharpshooting forward poured in more than 32 points per game as a senior at Grambling to become the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year in ’73-74. He earned the nickname “AJ from the Parking Lot” for his uncanny accuracy on long-distance shots. Aaron James was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Minden and Webster High School product Louis “Sweet Lou” Dunbar was another prolific high school scoring sensation. This 6’9” big man also possessed a sweet jump shot. Dunbar received numerous college scholarship offers and left his home state to play for the University of Houston in the early 1970’s. He averaged 22 points and eight rebounds over his career with the Cougars. Louis Dunbar would join the Harlem Globetrotters and play for the next 27 years! “Sweet Lou” is one of only eight Globetrotters to have his jersey (#41) retired. Dunbar was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2020. Let’s not forget Shreveport Valencia High School basketball star Roosevelt Fuller. This silky-smooth high-scoring guard torched the nets for 64 points in a Shreveport high school basketball game in the late 1960’s. Fuller averaged an incredible 44 points per game one season at Valencia High. He played college hoops from 1970-1972 at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, TX. He still holds the school scoring record of 53 points and posted a 28 points per game average as a sophomore. Roosevelt Fuller was inducted into the Trinity Valley Sports Hall of Fame in 2025. No, it wasn’t just Pistol Pete Maravich exciting Louisiana’s basketball fans during the late 1960’s into the early 70’s. This week’s passing of Dwight “Bo” Lamar served as a reminder of just how special his era of basketball was in the Pelican State.

This week on Two Cents Gets Distracted, Scotland did the most Scottish thing imaginable.Lose to Italy… then immediately turn around and snap England's 12-game winning streak.Yes, the Scots beat the English. The rugby world rejoiced. Bagpipes were heard from space. We are, frankly, delighted.Meanwhile, Wales have somehow discovered new geological layers of rock bottom. France treated them like training cones, playing Harlem Globetrotters rugby with offloads, flair, and the kind of ominous swagger that should concern literally everyone.Italy vs Ireland? Suddenly… tight? Competitive? Slightly terrifying if you're Irish? Is this an Italian renaissance, or are we witnessing the slow fade of Ireland's golden generation? We attempt to answer that question with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever.Plus — Super Rugby is back! The Crusaders lost (we celebrate responsibly). The Blues also lost (less fun). Balance has been restored to the universe.All that, plenty of nonsense, and a decent helping of rugby chat.Grab a beer and enjoy

We conclude the first week of the new year with a hysterical chat on crossovers/versus matches in fiction that should've been (but never were)! Why didn't Tony Stark's dad & the Rocketeer team up in a steampunk adventure? Should Jack Torrance & Patrick Bateman be in an axe fight match? Why don't Jason Bourne & John Wick face-off? Why are the Harlem Globe Trotters thrown into any encounter nowadays? Would Dr. Katz & The Critic put up with each other's crap? They should TOTALLY make a Godfather Vs. Scarface showdown but why didn't they? All that and James & Oreo outlining the PERFECT Star Trek & Star Wars crossover concept! SPEAKERS & GUESTS: Cam Sully, Daniel "Nightmare Nerd" Ryan, Oreo Brewer, The Pedator Minute trio (Cliff Stevenson, A-aron Landerville & Shane Kelley), James Bruno, Gil Palmer, Tom Lindaman & MIke Ensing SONG INTRO: "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten
All-Black basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters travelled to Hinckley, Illinois on 7th January, 1927 - setting them on a barnstorming journey through the Midwest, the nation, and eventually the world… Their manager, Abe Saperstein, was obsessed with basketball, stitching together tours at a time when Black athletes were locked out of most professional leagues. His re-brand of the team to the “Harlem Globetrotters” symbolised Black culture and creativity at a time of sports segregation, even though the team were actually from Chicago. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly compare contrasting stories of how ‘the Savoy Big Five' evolved into the Globetrotters; explain why showboating, humour and spectacle were always part of the group's demonstrations, despite their immense talent; and examine how the team helped introduce America to Black sporting excellence… Further Reading: • ‘The Harlem Globetrotters: 99 years of basketball, variety and ‘Showtime'' (The Athletic, 2025): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6118506/2025/02/10/harlem-globetrotters-black-history-month-99-years/ • ‘How Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein shaped basketball as we know it today' (The Times of Israel, 2024): https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-harlem-globetrotters-founder-abe-saperstein-shaped-basketball-as-we-know-it-today/ • ‘Best of the Harlem Globetrotters' (Guinness World Records, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDQLhK-flVE #Sport #20s #Black #Racism #US Love the show?

From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. In this comprehensive biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (1927-2003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson (Oxford UP, 2023) sets Gibson's life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism. Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and community's expectations that she selflessly serve as a representative of her race. An incredibly talented, ultra-competitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional norms of femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins and international recognition, including a ticker tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Department-sponsored goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings. A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.

"I think there are a lot of athletes out there that are just so scared to show who they truly are and what they like because of their teammates and their coaches. And they're trying to get to the next level, and they're like, 'Oh well, if I like this then I'm not gonna get to the next level.' It's actually the opposite. You're probably gonna play better if you show who you truly are, because you're more free." Everyone loves Jackson Olson. The Savannah Bananas infielder is on a mission to make baseball more fun — and he's doing just that. Jackson has made a name for himself playing Banana Ball, which is like the baseball version of the Harlem Globetrotters. The exhibition-style games include full-on performances with choreography, lip syncing, and walk-ups designed to delight the sold-out stadium crowds. In this conversation, Jackson talks about his road to the Bananas, and his road to becoming a runner. This fall, Jackson ran his first race — the Disney Wine & Dine 5K — and now he's training for a 10K in January while figuring out how running fits into his busy baseball season. Plus, talking Taylor Swift, Disney World, and how Jackson found his voice and his confidence.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Brawley Chisholm III. The two talk about the journey of founding a nonprofit, the challenges of getting started, and the game-changing benefits of offering free events that teach everything from financial literacy to coding, yoga, and basketball. In this episode, we discuss: How Brawley Chisholm III, former Harlem Globetrotter, channeled his basketball passion and New York roots into founding CHAMP (Cultivating Humanity And Manifesting Purpose), inspired by childhood programs that provided free access to sports for inner-city kids. What drove Brawley to launch CHAMP—recognizing that while he achieved his athletic dreams, he felt a void in community impact, leading him to create free events blending sports, life skills, and professional development for underserved youth. When CHAMP's first event took place at a Baltimore public school, quickly snowballing into larger back-to-school initiatives like the Bronx event at Mallalis Park near Yankee Stadium, serving 200 kids with rotating skill-building stations. Why consistency and starting small matters—Brawley emphasizes overcoming overthinking by leaning on mentors, with CHAMP expanding to teen summits in Indiana featuring panels, meditation, sales training, coding, and gaming scholarships. How CHAMP addresses modern needs like social media, AI, and gaming careers, teaching kids to look beyond playing games to opportunities in production, logos, and business behind them. Brawley Chisholm III is a three-time Emmy-nominated entertainer, longtime Harlem Globetrotter, and founder of CHAMP—his youth nonprofit focused on financial literacy, wellness, creativity, and career development for ages 8–18. After performing in over 60 countries, he's dedicated his platform to mentorship and purpose-driven impact. He also co-leads EMCC Media, producing cinematic brand storytelling for companies like Converse and Jordan Brand, and hosts "Confidently Different," a motivational series centered on confidence and mental wellness. Born in Brooklyn and raised in The Bronx, Brawley's mission is simple: inspire through authenticity, purpose, and service. https://becomeachamp.org/
