Former Harlem Globetrotter Fred “Curly” Neal Dies
(Houston, TX) — Legendary Harlem Globetrotter Fred “Curly” Neal is dead at the age of 77. For over 20 years, the basketball legend displayed slick dribbling skills while sporting his signature shaved head and bright smile. Neal became the face of the team as he played in over six-thousand games across 97 countries. His number 22 is one of only five Globetrotters jerseys to be retired at Madison Square Garden. Team general manager Jeff Munn said Neal was “one of the most genuine human beings the world has ever known.”
