Olympian Missy Franklin drafted by Harlem Globetrotters
Add “Harlem Globetrotters” to Missy Franklin’s list of accomplishments.
The four-time Olympic swimming gold medalist was one of five people selected Monday night in the Globetrotters’ 10th annual player draft. She joins actor Kevin Hart, golfer Jordan Spieth, soccer star Neymar Jr. and 2016 college slam dunk champion Devan Douglas.
“This is such an honor! Better start working on my game,” she tweeted Monday night.
Franklin, who attended Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, is the second-tallest pick from the draft at 6-foot-2 — just an inch shorter than Douglas.
