Harlem Globetrotters Coming Back to Monroe - Jan. 19
by Jimmy Touchet - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
On the heels of signing one of the most extraordinary rookie classes in team history, the Harlem Globetrotters will bring their 2012 World Tour to Monroe Civic Center in Monroe on Thursday, Jan. 19, 2012, at 7:00 pm.

Tickets to see the world's most famous basketball team are on sale now and are available at www.harlemglobetrotters.com, www.ticketmaster.com, the Monroe Civic Center box office, or by phone at 800.745.3000. Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at www.harlemglobetrotters.com.

The outstanding rookies include Paul "Tiny" Sturgess, the world's tallest pro basketball player at 7-8, Jonte "Too Tall" Hall, the shortest Globetrotter ever at 5-2, and Fatima "TNT" Maddox of Temple University, the team's first female player since 1993 and ninth female in team history.

The new Globetrotters also feature the top three finishers from the 2011 College Slam Dunk Contest, including the reigning champ Jacob "Hops" Tucker. At 5-10, Tucker sports a 50-inch vertical leap, and his YouTube videos have garnered well over four million views. Tucker joins slam dunk runner-up John "Jet" Williams of UNC-Asheville and semifinalist Darnell "Spider" Wilks of the University of Cincinnati.
