Pablo Robertson

Paul "Pablo" Robertson was an American professional basketball player and member of the Harlem Globetrotters. At college, Robertson played on the 1962–63 Loyola squad that won the NCAA Tournament, although Robertson was dropped in the middle of the season due to grades. [1]

On December 29, 1962 in a game between Loyola and Wyoming at the All-College Tournament in Oklahoma City, Loyola's starting point guard John Egan fouled out. When Robertson was put in to replace Egan, Loyola became the first major college team known to play five African-American players at the same time.[2]

As a Globetrotter, he was one of the animated characters on the 1970s CBS Saturday morning cartoon series. He played college basketball at Loyola University in Chicago in the early 1960s.[3][4]
