The Harlem Globetrotters held their sixth annual player draft at the end of June, selecting 2012 College Slam Dunk Champion James Justice of the NAIA's Martin Methodist College. Other selections included, three-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, and Iesha Davis, sister of likely #1 overall NBA Draft pick Anthony Davis.

Others selected include College Slam Dunk semi-finalist Bryan Narcisse of Clemson University; Division II All-American Stefan Bonneau of C.W. Post;  and Dylan Richter, the University Athletic Association Player of the Year at Washington University in St. Louis, who recently interned with the Globetrotters' digital team.

"Our draft is always fun, because we look for athletes of all different kinds that might have the attributes to be a Harlem Globetrotter," said Sweet Lou Dunbar, the Globetrotters' director of player personnel.  "James Justice is a dunking dynamo in the mold of many great Globetrotter dunkers, Iesha Davis has a great bloodline, and how can you go wrong with the world's fastest human?"   

 James Justice of Martin Methodist College won the 2012 College Slam Dunk Contest, following a similar path to that of current Globetrotters' star Jacob "Hops" Tucker, a 2011 Globetrotter draftee who won the 2011 College Slam Dunk Championship after gaining entry with a YouTube video campaign.  After being voted into the contest via Facebook, the 5-9 Justice, who sports a 52-inch vertical leap, dazzled the crowd and the judges with three perfect scores of the four dunks he executed.  The Memphis, Tenn., product was a two-time First Team NAIA All-American and two-time TranSouth Conference Player of the Year.
