Globetrotters Draft Usain Bolt & Anthony Davis’ Sister

Globetrotters Draft Usain Bolt & Anthony Davis’ Sister The Harlem Globetrotters held their sixth annual player "draft" Tuesday, selecting seven prospects, including Usain Bolt of Jamaica and the older sister of projected NBA number one pick Anthony Davis 

The Globetrotters say they picked the 2008 triple gold medalist in the sprints after seeing him dunk on video from a pickup game in Kingston, where they were impressed with his leaping ability. 

Below is a clip of Bolt dunking prior to a Boston Celtics game in 2009.

Bolt will be going for more gold in London come early August.

Chicago native Lesha Davis is the older sister of Anthony Davis and is a 5-10 forward from Richard Daley College. The Globetrotters compare their relationship to that of more famous hoop siblings Cheryl and Reggie Miller.   HUH?
