Harlem Globetrotter Surprises 3-Year-Old In Hospital After Heart Surgery
1010 WINS- Harlem Globetrotters star Julian "Zeus" McClurkin stopped by Ohio's Akron Children's Hospital yesterday (Jan. 4) to spend some quality time entertaining the kids and teaching them how to spin a ball like a true pro.
Patients Myles Moore, age 6, of Amsterdam, and Vayla Bourne, age 7, of Dover got a firsthand lesson on McClurkin's world-famous ball handling skills -- as did Joshua Canzonetta, age 14 of Warren, Kelly Inch, age 11, Jack Rohrer, age 18, and Tammy Pham, age 13, each from Akron.
Just two days after going through open heart surgery, Jermaine, age 3, showed he had plenty of energy to hang out with a real-life basketball star and even spun the ball on his little finger -- with the help of McClurkin.
