With his distinctive bald head and ironic nickname, Neal was arguably the most recognizable member of the Globetrotters along with Meadowlark Lemon and Marques Haynes (both of whom passed away in 2015). Neal played with the Globetrotters from 1963 to 1985 entertaining people all over the world with both his basketball prowess and comedy antics. That he brought so many smiles to people makes Neal's passing all the more sad during a dark time. If you never watched Neal much less the Globetrotters, here is but a sample. Hopefully it will bring you a laugh and a smile. R.I.P.
