The outstanding rookies include Paul “Tiny” Sturgess, the world’s tallest pro basketball player at 7-8, Jonte “Too Tall” Hall, the shortest Globetrotter ever at 5-2, and Fatima “TNT” Maddox of Temple University, the team’s first female player since 1993 and ninth female in team history.
The new Globetrotters also feature the top three finishers from the 2011 College Slam Dunk Contest, including the reigning champ Jacob “Hops” Tucker. At 5-10, Tucker sports a 50-inch vertical leap, and his YouTube videos have garnered well over four million views. Tucker joins slam dunk runner-up John “Jet” Williams of NC-Asheville and semifinalist Darnell “Spider” Wilks of the University of Cincinnati.
The 2012 rookie class has a total of three seven-footers including 7-4 Jermaine “Stretch” Middleton, the third-tallest player in team history, and 7-foot Anthony “Biggie” McClain. At 7-8, Sturgess becomes the tallest Globetrotter ever after a career at Mountain State University (W.Va.). He is the 19th internationally born player in team history, hailing from Loughborough, England.

My 8 year old daughter Karleigh is one of the shortest in the whole 3rd grade. She LOVES basketball and is always picked on about her size and that she can’t reach the goal but she is so great at basketball and surprises everyone with her size. This would be a great experience not only for her but for our family to show her size doesn’t matter when you love this sport as much as she does!
I don’t have enough money to get tickets for the whole family, as I have six children, but my boys would absolutely CHERISH the opportunity to get to see the Harlem Globetrotters. My oldest is 6’2 at 14 years and dreams of a professional career. My middle son is autistic, but is AMAZED at all the colors and spinning tricks he sees on the commercials. And of course my youngest boy want to follow in his big brothers footsteps 🙂 I’m not sure how to enter the contest because it says to click and there is nothing there but even if I have to get my oldest a ticket alone and drop him off while I wait outside, that’s what I’ll do. He dreams and dreams and it breaks my heart that I can’t provide him with the opportunities to grasp since I have six children. But to all you other mothers out there: I pray that your children get to experience the globetrotters at least once in a lifetime! I was blessed to see them years ago in high school…..(okay eons ago 🙂 )
