Description

Red Klotz helped introduce the game of basketball to more than 100 countries around the world during a career spanning back to the 1920s. As owner of the Washington Generals for 60-plus years, Red played in and/or coached and lost more than 14,000 games to the Harlem Globetrotters. However, in 1971, his long, two-hand set shot with three seconds left, earned the Generals their first-ever victory over the Globetrotters.
Despite a 42-year losing streak since that surprising upset, Red Klotz is a winner. And at 5 7 Red is still the shortest player to win an NBA championship with the 1948 Baltimore Bullets. The Legend of Red Klotz traces the unlikely journey of the game's most-traveled man.
