Ep. 1 Michael Wilson | Basketball

Real Talk with Michael Wilson: The 5th Quarter, learning a new way, long lines, writing his own story and getting back up every single day.

Michael, a basketball phenom from Memphis, TN.   He made his mark at Melrose High School right here in the bluff city then later as a star player for the University of Memphis Men’s Basketball team.

It was after college that Michael joined the world famous Harlem Globetrotters for an impressive 10 year career that took him all over the world and a world record breaking jump that still stands today.

The Memphis native thrilled thousands of fans with his amazing slam dunks. Wilson traveled to nearly 60 countries during his standout Globetrotter career and was a two-time slam dunk champion at the NABC College All-Star Game. 

Wilson is the current Guinness World Record holder for the highest slam dunk ever recorded, setting the mark at 12-feet during Final Four Weekend in April of 2000.  An exhibit at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is dedicated to his soaring accomplishment.

Just the 30th person to receive the Harlem Globetrotters “Legends” distinction, Wilson was honored on Jan. 18, 2019, at the FedEx Forum in his hometown of Memphis.
