The greatest ball handler of all time has died. At one time, he was likely one of the 5-10 most famous basketball players on the planet due to the Globetrotters incredible schedule. He played to packed houses in nearly a hundred nations over twenty plus years. He brought joy to the millions of fans saw him play.

RIP...
 
Another one of the all time greats at his craft, gone from among us. His ball handling seemed like magic.

RIP.
 
I met Curly Neal and his wife when he played in a celebrity golf tournament for the hospital that I was working in at the time. He was one of the nicest and most genuine people you could meet. I remember picking him up at the airport in Charlotte (easy to pick out in a crowd} and we had to go by Johnson C. Smith where he went to school so he could see it again. We then went to his favorite restaurant and got some fried chicken and of course everyone in the place knew who he was. Just as fun loving off the court as on. RIP
 
They don’t make ‘em like Curly any more
 
Met him once at a bar in the Memphis airport and bought him a beer. Great guy to chat with.

RIP
 
Great article by Ed Hardin in our Winston-Salem Journal this morning about Curly Neal, a Dudley High School & Johnson C Smith product.
 
The only worthwhile thing to ever come out of Greensboro.
