Pope Leo spins the basketball on his finger with help from the Harlem Globetrotters

Pope Leo XIV remembers the good old days of Michael Jordan And Scottie Pippen about his hometown Chicago Bulls…and he clearly has skills with rock…or at least great teachers.

The head of the Catholic Church welcomed the Harlem Globetrotters to St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday…and they showed him how to spin a basketball with his finger.

Look: one of the athletes starts spinning the ball as he puts the Pope’s finger in position… then passes it to him… sort of.

It looks like the Globetrotter is doing most of the work – and Leo is standing right there – but the pontiff still gets a standing ovation.

Pope Leo XIV has been in office for almost a year now, and he’s had a ton of memorable moments… sign a motorcycle for a charity that allegedly skipped a meeting with the president Asset after administration officials reportedly the Vatican ambassador spoke harshly in the United States.

Technically, the Pope job is a lifetime appointment… but maybe Leo could get a job as the Globetrotters mascot!
