NEWPORT — The Friends of Recreation will be hosting some very special guests on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. at Wheeler Gymnasium.
The Harlem Rockets, a talented group of basketball entertainers who combine incredible showtime basketball skills and family-friendly comedy will face the Friends of Recreation All-Stars in a game benefiting the Friends of Recreation.
Having played more than 2,500 games in 16 years without a single defeat, the Harlem Rockets offer something for everyone to enjoy. Sports enthusiasts will be intrigued by the athleticism and size of the Rockets.
Basketball aficionados will be dazzled by the long-range accuracy of “General Electric” Junie Sanders. Satiated by the extraordinary tricks and ball-handling skills of Solomon Bamira, a former Harlem Globetrotter, the building will be rocking with the thunderous dunks of the high-flying “Jet Blue” Cliff Malone.
And since this is comedy basketball, the Harlem Rockets present to you the All-Time Funny Man and one of the Show Basketball Greats….James “Sleepy” Williams, who was featured in the movie, “ Above the Rim,” starring Tupac Shakur and Duane Martin.
Speedy was also one of the “Original Nike Free-Style Ballers in Nike Commercials. And, Speedy performed live at the MTV Music Awards while Jay Z did his thing. He is better known as The “Crowned Prince of Laughs.”
The Harlem Rockets incorporate the audience, especially children, into the show and are always available to meet the fans and give autographs at halftime and after the game.
In this special event to raise money for the Friends of Recreation, the Friends of Recreation All-Stars have graciously agreed to face the Harlem Rockets.
