Grant, a 6-foot-2 sharpshooter, will sign autographs and teach children some ball-handling tricks at the store. Grant starred at the College of New Jersey and was named player of the year in its conference before joining the Globetrotters, where he has become known as one of its funniest players. “He can do impressions of anybody,” said teammate Flight Time Lang.
Grant will be at Shoreline TOP Food & Drug, 1201 N 175 St., from 6 - 7 pm Friday, January 29. The Harlem Globetrotters will be playing at 7 pm February 20 at the Comcast Arena in Everett and 2 pm February 21 at Key Arena in Seattle. Beginning February 1, the Shoreline TOP Food & Drug will offer $5 ticket discounts to either game.
“The Harlem Globetrotters have been entertaining families for more than 80 years with their amazing ball-handling and comedy routines,” said Becky Skaggs, spokesperson for TOP Food & Drug. “We’re pleased to have one of their players spend time with our customers.”
