- Long before current
- backcourt stars like Kenny
- Anderson and Tim
- Hardaway were born,
- Marques Haynes was
- inventing the dribbling moves they would later
- use.
-
- For more than 40 years, Marques [MAR-kiss]
- was a star with the Harlem Globetrotters, the
- Fabulous Harlem Magicians, and several
- other all-black barnstorming teams. He was
- advertised as ΓÇ£the worldΓÇÖs greatest dribbler."
- Marques dribbled the ball behind his back,
- through his legs, and while sliding on his
- side. He moved around opponents, who
- would swipe at the ball in vain.
