Paul "Tiny" Sturgess (the world's tallest pro basketball player) makes his entrance to The Children's Museum of Cleveland.
"Tiny" and "Firefly" take time to get acquainted with the children prior to their demonstration.
The message for the day was "EXERCISE!!!".
This young volunteer is demonstrating jumping jacks.
This young man is showing how to do push-ups.
Here we see how to do a squat and thrust.
The ever popular "running" exercise is shown.
All four are combined to show how exercise can be fun!
Prior to a ball spinning demonstration, "Tiny" does a cuticle check to make sure all is in readiness.
The spinning ball is balanced with the first digit on the left hand being held in readiness just in case.
Success! You are now eligible to try out as a Globetrotter!
Some dazzling ball handling.
From fingertip to fingertip across the back and shoulders. Amazing!
Fingers are not the only thing that you can balance a spinning basketball on.
A third participant tries for the balance trick.
After the demonstrations, it was photo time with the players.
You can tell that these guys really enjoy what they do.
"Tiny" tries his hand as the world's tallest camera man.
Another photo with a young fan.
Smile!
One of the many dedicated staff members at the museum has her photo taken with the guys.
"Tiny" and "Firefly" share a laugh during an interview following the visit.
