    The Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theatre, and comedy. 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 Sacramento for a doubleheader!

    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.

    The 2012 rookie class has a total of three seven-footers including 7'4" Jermaine “Stretch” Middleton, the third-tallest player in team history, and 7-foot Anthony “Biggie” McClain. At 7'8", Sturgess becomes the tallest Globetrotter ever after a career at Mountain State University (W.Va.).
