It’s been 90 years since the Harlem Globetrotters began showing off their goofy, talented basketball antics, and to mark the anniversary season, the team named Pope Francis as an honorary member. The Globetrotters are also celebrating the addition of El Gato Meléndez—the team’s first player born in Puerto Rico—who got his nickname after repeated incidents of stray cats following him to the basketball court throughout childhood.
