Swoop: Ball Tricks

Swoop: Ball Tricks

James Brown had nothing on Dwayne Swoop Simpson. The triple-zero uniform-wearing entertainer for the Harlem Wizards is officially  the “hardest working man in show business (at the Fair).”

For the past week, we saw Simpson do tricks, teach salsa lessons, play some great classic soul and rock music as a DJ, drum up business for local vendors, take photographs with fans, nearly get a double-double in  wheelchair basketball, and just plain make a vocation look like fun outside the Sports Activity Center.

On this Labor Day, we salute his work ethic.
