Big Easy is also a world record holder, owning the Guinness World Record for the farthest basketball hook shot 72 feet 6.

Despite his nickname, nothing was easy about what Big Easy and 13 family members and friends went through when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in Most of the group lived in the uptown projects, and when the levees gave way, Big Easy, his late father and two friends pushed the group in a pickup truck to St.

John the Baptist Church. From there, they were able to make it out of the city and evacuate to Houston. As luck would have it, while he was in Houston, Big Easy was given a tryout by the Globetrotters and then offered a spot on the team.

I started in so this is my 17th year. The Globetrotters are celebrating their 90th anniversary this year. The Globetrotters started out as a barnstorming team, just willing to play against anybody. Yeah, Yao Ming brought that up when we were in China. We look for good players, good people, but we really value athleticsm—people with extraordinary physical abilities.

Who are the iconic Globetrotters you looked up to? Of course you have to go with Meadowlark Lemon. And of course Curly Neal is an all-time favourite. I was fortunate enough to be able to wear his 22 for my first seven years on the team until we held a big ceremony at Madison Square Garden about ten years ago retiring his number.

To be a part of that was an honour. What NBA player would be most suited to join up with you guys. I think we both know the answer is pretty obvious…. Yup, yup. I have to go with the people, because you know they want me to say Steph Curry. He definitely goes on and puts out a show every night.

We might have to make Riley our new unofficial mascot.
