Didn't some coach (college...pro?) use Curly Neal to demonstrate dribbling to his team? Abused them in a drill? Seems to me, it wasn't too long ago.. Am I trippin' on this? Was fortunate enough to see the Globetrotters in their early 1970's heyday. A memory I could never forget.
Story time... Was 10 years old... My dad was a pretty big guy..hard to miss in a crowd... At one point in the game my dad got up to go take a piss..As he was walking up the steps, Meadowlark Lemon stopped the game and started yelling " HEY. ..HEY...HEY YOU.." He was yelling at my overweight father marching up the stairs...when dad finally realized he was the target, and turned around, Meadowlark yells " I......KNOW.......WHERE.......YOU'RE......GOING!!!!!.....) It was hillarious, and my dad, who somewhat resembled Jackie Gleason did the Gleason dance back...
