Pope John Paul II poses with the Harlem Globetrotters in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City in this Oct. 1, 1986 photograph. The team named the Pope an honorary Globetrotter Friday, Jan. 5, 2001 in Chicago as part of the celebration of the team's 75th anniversary. Only seven other people, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was also named Friday, have received the honorary Globetrotter designation. (AP Photo/Gianni Foggia)
