There have been white Globetrotters. Their white coach and owner Abe Saperstein occasionally suited up for games. There were also free-throw master Bunny Leavitt and the 7'7" Englishman Paul Sturgess. The most famous, though, was Bob Karstens, who not only played but is credited with developing sone of their routines such as the magic circle and the yo-yo ball. After his playing days he helped manage the team.
