Former Bruin basketball player Darrick Martin
is now a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. Martin lettered at
UCLA from 1989-1992. He ranks third in career assists in UCLA

Sacramento Kings in 2000-2001. “We are pleased with the team
we have put together this year. There were some difficult player
cuts due to the increased number of players that tried out during
training camp,” Globetrotter owner and chairman
Mannie Jackson said in a statement.
