In 1972 the Harlem Globetrotters signed comedy legend Bill Cosby to an honorary $1 lifetime contract. It’s unclear if Bill played more than one game with the Globetrotters, but they raised his salary to a whopping $1.05 in 1986. Not a bad deal for someone who was a star athlete at Temple University. More classic Globetrotter photos and your music pairing after the jump.
