'Mini Michael Jordan': 4-foot-5 hoopster starring for Globetrotters

One of the newest members of the Harlem Globetrotters is a 4-foot-5 street baller from New York nicknamed the "mini Michael Jordan."

Jahmani "Hot Shot" Swanson first auditioned for the Globetrotters in 2011 and appeared in a few games last year, according to Linda Massarella of the New York Post, before officially signing with the team as part of its 2018 rookie class.

The 32-year-old is confident he can handle the Globetrotters' rigorous touring schedule.

"I never get tired," he said. "I can play basketball all day and night."

The Globetrotters play in Brooklyn on Dec. 26, and Swanson has received plenty of requests for tickets.

"Word's getting around and everybody's begging me for tickets," he said. "I keep saying I'll do what I can."
