<P> Many famous basketball players have played for the Globetrotters . Greats such as "Wee" Willie Gardner, Connie "The Hawk" Hawkins, Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, and Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton later went on to join the NBA . The Globetrotters signed their first female player, Olympic gold medalist Lynette Woodard, in 1985 . The Globetrotters have featured 13 female players in their illustrious history . Baseball Hall of Famers Ernie Banks, Bob Gibson, and Ferguson Jenkins also played for the team at one time or another . Because the majority of the team players have historically been African American, and as a result of the buffoonery involved in many of the Globetrotters' skits, they drew some criticism during the Civil Rights era . The players were accused by some civil - rights advocates of "Tomming for Abe", a reference to Uncle Tom and Jewish owner Abe Saperstein . However, prominent civil rights activist Jesse Jackson (who would later be named an Honorary Globetrotter) came to their defense by stating, "I think they've been a positive influence...They did not show blacks as stupid . On the contrary, they were shown as superior ." In 1995, Orlando Antigua became the first Hispanic player on the team . He was the first non-black player on the Globetrotters' roster since Bob Karstens played with the squad in 1942--43 . </P> <P> While parts of a modern exhibition game are pre-planned, the games themselves are not fixed . While their opponents do not interfere with the Globetrotters' hijinks while on defense they play a serious game when in possession of the ball, about 20 to 30 percent of a game is "real". This once led to an infamous defeat at the hands of the Washington Generals to the distress of a watching crowd . </P> <P> The Globetrotters won the World Professional Basketball Tournament once, in 1940, beating the Chicago Bruins with a score of 31--29 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Harlem Globetrotters roster <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Players </Th> <Th> Coaches </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Pos . </Th> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Height </Th> <Th> Weight </Th> <Th> DOB (YYYY - MM - DD) </Th> <Th> From </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1.5!
