Great Oak Middle School Music Department will be hosting some very special guests on Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. in the Oxford High School Gym (61 Quaker Farms Road).
The Harlem Rockets, a talented group of basketball entertainers who combine incredible showtime basketball skills and family-friendly comedy will face the Oxford All-Stars in a game benefiting the Great Oak Middle School Music Department.
Having played over 2,500 games in 16 years without a single defeat, the Harlem Rockets offer something for everyone to enjoy. Sports enthusiasts will be intrigued by the athleticism and size of the Rockets.
Basketball aficionados will be dazzled by the ball-handling wizardry of Clarence “Mugsy” Leggett. Mugsy is one of the world’s extraordinary dribblers and a former Harlem Globetrotter. Fans will also be satiated by the game of Devon “The People’s Choice” Curry and left awestruck by high-flying dunks of Cliff “Jet Blue” Malone, who was featured in a Nike commercial released during the Super Bowl.
And since this is comedy basketball, the Harlem Rockets present to you the All Time Funny Man and one of Show Basketball’s Greats, James “Speedy” Williams, who was featured in the movie, “Above The Rim” starring Tupac Shakur and Duane Martin. Speedy was also one of the Original Nike Free-Style Ballers in a Nike commercial. And Speedy performed live at the MTV Music Awards while Jay Z did his thing. He is better known as The “Crown Prince Of Laughs.”
The Harlem Rockets incorporate the audience, especially children, into the show and are always available to meet the fans and give autographs at halftime and after the game.
