We have our first guest of the new year on today! For the first time ever on this show, we have a Harlem Globetrotter! Curley Boo Johnson shares his hoops story from beginning to end in an episode you do not want to miss.
The Peoria legend made a name for himself with his incredible ball handling abilities. He is the first athlete to have his jersey number retired at Loras College and stood out enough to be recognized by the Harlem Globetrotters. He earned the title “The Worlds Greatest Dribbler” where he had the opportunity to showcase his talents in 94 countries. The team captain earned the Legacy Award, Mr Globetrotter Award and the Ambassador Award during his time with the Gloebtrotters. Curley Boo Johnson shares great stories about the blacktop scene in Peoria/Chicago, JuCo, Loras College, journey with the Globetrotters, Tim Hardaway, Marques Haynes, Curley Neal, Jayson Williams, Skills For Life Basketball Academy and MUCH more!
Big Thanks to Curley Boo Johnson for taking the time to hang out with us. He had such an incredible basketball story and we are honored to learn all about it. We know you will enjoy this one just as much as we did.
Thank you Curley Boo Johnson!
