Jackie got his nickname because legend had it that as a kid, he could jump so high, he could pick up a quarter that was placed on the top of a basketball backboard. :o
Before he spent 20 years playing for the Globetrotters, he was renownd for being able to dunk over Wilt Chamberlain in the famed Rucker Park Tournaments. In high school, he played alongside b-ball legends Connie Hawkins and Lenny Wilkens. 8)
