Elijah "All Day" Ward


Since last week was so busy, I totally forgot to mention the Harlem Globetrotters basketball camp that Elijah went to.  Each kid got a Globetrotter nickname and his was Elijah "All Day" Ward.  They taught them a few ball tricks and some skills but really it was about the novelty of being with two of the globetrotters for a couple of hours.  It was a Groupon, and I am Addicted to Groupons, but more on that another day.

Out of love for the Globetrotters (who I first met on a Scooby-Doo meets the Harlem Globetrotters re-run, originally aired in 1972), I scoured the internet for some fun facts.  See which ones you know:

     A.  In which city in 1926 did the Harlem Globetrotters originate? (Surprisingly, not Harlem)

     B.  What beloved theme song (at least I love it) do the Globetrotter's use?

     C.  What famous NBA player who after his junior year of college in 1959 played for the Harlem    Globetrotters?

     D.  Who was the most famous Globetrotter, known as the Clown Prince? 

     E.  Which famous actor has a lifetime contract with the Globetrotters receiving $1.00 a year?



Answers:
A.  Chicago
B.   Sweet Georgia Brown
C.   Wilt Chamberlain
D.   MeadowLark Lemon
E.  Bill Cosby
