The Globetrotters showed off their skills at Roots Public Charter School in Washington, D.C. where McLaurin volunteers her time.
“Really excited, I didn’t ever think I’d get to meet them,” said McLaurin. “But I always watched them and I used to try to do what they do with the balls.”
Weekes and McClurkin gave McLaurin her very own Globetrotters jersey with the number “#107” to celebrate her birthday.
