I remember reading in Mr. Smarty Pants that Nelson Mandela is one of only seven “honorary Harlem Globetrotters”.

Who are the other 6?

1999 On Jan. 8th, the Globetrotters named track and field star Jackie Joyner-Kersee an “Honorary Harlem Globetrotter” at the team’s annual tour stop at Kiel Center in St. Louis. Joyner-Kersee becomes just the sixth person ever to be bestowed the honor, joining Dr. Henry Kissinger (1976), comedian Bob Hope (1977), actress-comedian Whoopie Goldberg (1989), basketball hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1989), and President Nelson Mandela of South Africa (1996).
