In February, point guard Alexis “The Show” Morris, a member of the 2023 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship team from Louisiana State University , became the seventh current woman to join the organization. She was in the thick of the action for the team’s recent stops at Barclays Center and at Madison Square Garden, where they set a record for the highest grossing single season game in Harlem Globetrotters history.
Morris joined the Globetrotters mid tour after playing in France. Playing for the Globetrotters requires stellar basketball skills and the ability to entertain audiences, which she said comes from a player’s personality. Playing professionally has given Morris the chance to reap some hard-earned rewards. Her college career was a journey—beginning and ending playing for Coach Kim Mulkey. In between her time with Mulkey at Baylor and LSU, Morris also played at Rutgers and Texas A&M. At LSU, she found a home and great success.
