The Upshur County All Stars had better be ready Sunday.

Their opponent, the Harlem Legends, hasn’t lost a game “since Lassie was a puppy,” according to the Legends team captain and founder, Michael Douglas.

That’s probably because the point of the Harlem Legends Celebrity Basketball Show isn’t about winning or losing. It’s literally about how — or even that — communities play games.

“The main point is to provide a fun and entertaining show that kids and families can enjoy,” Douglas, a former Harlem Globetrotter, told the Buckhannon Rotary Club Tuesday. The team’s mission is to facilitate fun, educational activities to encourage kids and adults to embrace healthy lifestyles.

The Harlem Legends will take on the All Stars, a team of local celebrities, including Buckhannon Chief of Police Matt Gregory, Fire Chief Mitch Tacy and Mayor Kenny Davidson at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Buckhannon-Upshur High School gymnasium.

Rotary is sponsoring the show to benefit its international polio eradication program. The goal of the program is to raise $200 million that will fund efforts to completely eliminate the debilitating disease.

The Harlem Legends are a vehicle of the Michael Douglas Youth Foundation, which was founded by Douglas in 1991. He organized the Legends — a conglomeration of former Harlem Globetrotters, former NBA and NFL players, past Olympians and other professionals — because he “wanted to continue to play games and be able to assist schools, nonprofits and other civic organizations.”

Douglas grew up in Memphis, Tenn. and graduated from Dyersburg State College, where he was recognized as a stand-out athlete. In 1986, he was afforded an opportunity to try out for the Harlem Globetrotters. He jumped at the opportunity and was the team’s first pick out of 1,500 interested players. He played with the team from 1986 until 1993, visiting as many as 100 countries.

Today, the Michael Douglas Youth Foundation hosts about 10 “Shoot for the Stars” youth basketball camps and clinics per year. Douglas also tours the country as a motivational speaker.

Advance tickets cost $7 for adults and $5 for youth 18 and under. They are still available at The Daily Grind and the Bicentennial Inn and may also be purchased from a Rotary member. At the door, adult tickets cost $10 and youth/student tickets cost $8.

Rotary has already raised $1,284 towards that effort through donations from its members.
