Curly Neal dies at 77

[Brush to Bay]

Sad to see one of the original Harlem Globetrotters go. He was a legend!

He was one of the all time greats, always a pleasure to see him play.

He was not one of the originals, the Globetrotters started in 1926, Curly joined the team in 1963.

Sat beside him in first class on a plane from MSP to MCO, signed a picture of himself to my son. Pulled out a ball from his bag and gave us all a show for about 2 minutes. Wish I would of had a phone that could take video instead of a flip phone. He was very cool to talk to.

When them dudes played on tv the whole world would stop for me, I liked him and Meadowlark Lemon.

Saw him perform a few times as a kid. He and Meadowlark Lemon were a lot of fun to watch.

Part of getting old is watching your childhood heroes pass.

RIP Mr Neal

Thank you for sharing your gift.

I remember seeing them play as a kid at the Monroe, La. Civic Center. Those were fun times.

It is impossible to explain to younger folks how big of a global icon the Globetrotters were back a few decades ago. Curly - in addition to being an extremely talented player and entertainer - exemplified the fun and joy that was the Globetrotters. Saw them several times in the 70’s - always a great time
