Default Curly Neal dies at age 77

My favorite Globetrotter, (along with Meadowlark) through the years.

This man entertained 10's of millions of people throughout the world in his career.

RIP good sir.

A legend.

Fred "Curly" Neal, the slick-dribbling face of the Harlem Globetrotters for 22 years, has died at the age of 77, Johnson C. Smith University announced Thursday.

Neal, with his recognizable shaved head and playful banter, in 2008 became just the fifth Globetrotters player to have his jersey retired, joining Wilt Chamberlain, Marques Haynes, Meadowlark Lemon and Goose Tatum.
