      I think Adam Silver should let the Harlem Globetrotters play in the NBA since they was the first team on the Abe to be known for their creative talent in the basketball league in 1926, after that the NBA came I think in 1946.

      Basically let the team that want to come and play, play after all you had some of the best athletes to play in the NBA who came from the Harlem Globetrotters like Wilt Chamberlain, Chuck Cooper, Sweetwater Clifton, Connie Hawkins, Curly Neal, Meadowlark Lemon need I say more Marquis Haynes let's talk about that.
      What you think about that?

      If Wilt Chamberlain was alive he would be fighting for the Harlem Globetrotters to be in the NBA as well.

      My name is Marty Gregory and my father (Charles Gregory) graduated from Booker T. Washington High School (Memphis) in 1953. He went to try-out for the Globetrotters after high school and made the team that same year, and he only played a few games and got a draft letter from the Army, so he left the Globetrotters and joined the Navy. His jersey was stolen so we don't have any record or evidence that he played for the Globetrotters.. I know they kept bad records back then, but I am asking if you have any photos of the 1953 Globetrotter teams for that year, that you can share with me? Me and my family would appreciate any assistance you can provide. I know it is asking a lot to look in the archives for pictures from 1953, but it would make a great story if we find some picture or document….
