I was working a college summer league once when two of the Globetrotters just showed up and got into the games. They were in town doing a kids clinic for a friend and wanted to know where they could get a game. So they showed up there. They even put on a show. I had one of them pick up his dribble and then walk about five steps and shoot a layup. I went with it and called a travel. He acted like he was upset with the call and came over next to me and put the ball on the floor. He was yelling at me and then under his breath told me to pick the ball up. When I leaned over to pick it up of course he kicked the ball away from me. Gee. Never seen that one before. It was pretty funny and fun to be a part of it. He was a nice guy and thanked us both for playing along after the game.
