Ep. 36: The Harlem Globetrotters, Creating Smiles + Memories

On this episode, two of the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters, Julian ‘Zeus’ McClurkin and Joey ‘Hot Rod’ De La Rosa join us for a fun-filled conversation. Zeus is one of the most decorated Harlem Globetrotters, holding six Guiness World Records, and he’s performed mind-blowing trick shots including his favorite location…Mall of America! Hot Rod is a 7’1” Bronx native that has dreamed of being a Globetrotter since the day they visited his elementary school when he was only 9 years old. 

Past Globetrotter visits to Mall of America featured record breaking, as well as successful trick shots from the Pepsi Orange Streak roller coaster, the zip line + the top of our Rotunda event space.
