Nate 'Big Easy' Lofton has entertained millions around the globe as a member of the famed Harlem Globetrotters. But way before he was dazzling fans with half-court hook shots, he was simply trying to survive in the projects of New Orleans. 

In 2005, one of the most destructive hurricanes in history was on a direct path for New Orleans. Little did the Lofton family know that their only way out would lead to Nate on a path to stardom. 

Nate is retired from the Globetrotters, and is now in Real Estate in Colorado where he and his wife now call home.
