their opponents, the Generals, and is expected to generate even more
high-scoring action and competitive play.
“I only wish they had this shot when I was playing,” said Globetrotter
Legend Curly Neal, one of only five Globetrotters in history to have his
jersey number retired. “I could have lit up that scoreboard all night
long.”
