Marques Haynes Harlem Globetrotters Basketball HOF Signed 3x5 vintage Index Card
Known as perhaps the most adept ball-handler in basketball history, Oklahoma-born guard Marques Haynes was able to dribble up to six times per second as opponents were unable to do anything but watch. According to the 1988 film Harlem Globetrotters: Six Decades of Magic, Haynes could dribble the ball as many as 348 times a minute. Haynes was considered to be among the greatest ballhandlers who ever lived. Wilt Chamberlain once said, "What he did was something that I could never do, and I could do almost everything on the basketball court." His game influenced players such as Bob Cousy, Pete Maravich, and Fred "Curly" Neal. He has been described as one of the best basketball players never to compete in the NBA. He is a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
We offer a vintage signed 3x5 index card dated January 8, 1957 to John (Smith) (famous autograph collector) when Haynes was with the Harlem Magicians (a team he owned after leaving the Globetrotters)
