    I got to see him, Meadowlark Lemon, and pretty tall guy that I don't recall the name.
    Curly was a fabulous ball handler and entertainer.

    definitely goodwill ambassadors with a basketball.
    RIP Mr Curly Neal.

    Seeing that smile on his face is how I always remember seeing him, and his team. What a great group of guys, who brought so much happiness and entertainment to so many. Very few can say that they brought so much enjoyment to so many people. RIP.....

    My dad took me to see The Harlem Globetrotters in the 60's. They were playing for some charity at our small home town high school. I was shocked, I could not believe what I was seeing, it was some kind of fantastic magic. RIP Curly.

    The Harlem Ambassadores (the B team) came to our little town for an exhibition game in the early 60's. There were 2 of the Globetrotters that made the trip also. Curly was one of them. My memory is a little fuzzy but I think they introduced him as the "Clown Prince of Basketball".  It was the most fun I had ever seen on a basketball court. :D

    Sorry to hear he passed. He probably made more people laugh than any comedian ever did, a real class act.
