02/13 HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS, LARRY LIPSON, RANDY GARELL

HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS

The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters are coming into town with a towering presence –- 7’8” “Tiny” Sturgess from England who tops off the Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest professional basketball player. He and “Flight Time” Lang (of Amazing Race fame) are available for interview Tuesday, February 12th through Thursday, February 14th as a prelude to the 2013 “You Write The Rules” World Tour (at Honda Center Feb. 16, STAPLES Center Feb. 17, and Ontario Feb. 18)  Celebrating 87 seasons as icons of entertainment, they represent the “art & soul” of a classic treasure that uses humor to break down barriers of age, language, politics and prejudice. Both are excellent interviews and can share their insights on how fans can now control their game by altering the rules they must follow. Taking audience participation to the max, fans vote online and during the game to select various rules that directly impact the performance -- the four-point shot, penalty box, playing with two balls at once, and more.

The Grant Boys is a “brick & mortar” store located in Costa Mesa, California. We have been in business since 1949 and are family-owned and operated. We are dedicated to fun in the outdoors. Our store is 12,000 square feet of selling space and we buy from over 600 vendors in the outdoors industry.
