Wun “The Shot” VersherWun “The Shot” Versher has been bringing smiles to faces around the globe for 22 years, and he couldn’t be happier.
At 6-foot-5, the 47-year-old Versher is likely to draw attention in most places, but when he dons the familiar red, white, blue and gold uniform of the Globetrotters, jersey No. 44, he draws a crowd.
“I love it,” he says.
“I’ve been to 63 countries, and typically that’s a small amount compared to some of the other guys [on the team]. I’ve been around the world and to some places twice, and I have yet to find someone who doesn’t like the Globetrotters.
