Julian McClurkin

Episode Notes

This episode’s guest that Dave and Paul chat with is Julian “Zeus” McClurkin, who many may know through his time with the Harlem Globetrotters as a player and advance ambassador. Julian has been with the team for 11 years, turning his passion of “smiling and dunking” into his career. Hear from him on how he got to this point, growing up playing basketball with his brother, to playing Division I in college, starting his career with the Washington Generals, before finally finding his home as a Globetrotter. You’ll also learn about some of the social initiatives the Harlem Globetrotters are a part of, specifically highlighting their endeavor this year focused on impacting African American youth, which is something Julian is personally passionate about. Hear how his enthusiastic and charismatic personality helped him when COVID caused him to be put on furlough, and how he parlayed his competitive spirit into developing a career in real estate, all while staying home and getting to enjoy time with his 8-month old son.
