ABOUT JONTE HALL

Jonte Hall, stands tall at 5’2”! During his earlier years, he was often told to quit pursuing his aspirations of becoming a professional basketball player, “you’re not growing any much, give it up!”

But he had bigger plans of his own! After many try-outs, rejections related to his height (not skills), $200.00 to his name & last hope, he gave it his all and became the first shortest player in history, for “The World Famous Harlem Globetrotters”.

Now, that’s a trailblazer!

After playing with the organization for 10 years, he transitioned in 2019 into becoming a Motivational Speaker to pursue his life’s purpose. These days he travels and visits schools nationwide to deliver the message of dreaming big, and never giving up, no matter the size of their obstacles.

His message to us is this, “as long as your heart stands tall, you’re not so small!”
