The Harlem Superstars will be back in the Shiretown on Friday, March 29.
The Superstars will visit the Houlton Elementary and Southside Schools during the afternoon and will play a game against the seniors that night at 7 p.m.
Although basketball is a major part of their success, it is not the most important part of the organization.
“We take pride in the fact that we do school visitations where we mix motivational speaking with some fun, which is a major part of our world famous show,” stated their website. “The Harlem Superstars realize that kids are the future and sometimes they may need to be encouraged, nurtured and given a few kind words of advice. We carefully hand pick our basketball players who enjoy motivational speaking, interaction with kids and who are truly respectable young men.”
Players for the Harlem Superstars are Chris “Super Chicken” Turnquist, Kevin “Showboat” Jackson, Chuck “Skyscrapper” Henson, Cliff “Will Fly” Malone, a former Globetrotter; Donnie “Razzmatazz” Seale and David “Cool Dave” Fields.
