Globetrotters add third woman to roster

The Harlem Globetrotters drafted WNBA dunking star Brittney Griner and New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera in their seventh annual talent dispersal Tuesday. The Globetrotters also picked three other college players including 2013 College Slam Dunk champion Doug Anderson from the University of Detroit-Mercy. The 6-foot-8 Griner had a stellar career at Baylor and became the first WNBA player to dunk twice in a game in her debut with the Phoenix Mercury after being picked No. 1 overall. The Globetrotters now have two female players: TNT Maddox and T-Time Brawner. Globetrotters CEO Kurt Schneider said his team’s North American tour does not overlap with the WNBA schedule.
