Dancing Harry was a staple at Madison Square Garden
in the early 1970s at all New York Knicks
home games. He would dance on the sidelines during timeouts and give the Whammy
to the opposition. Apparently he was a sidekick to Earl Monroe
as he was also the mascot for the Baltimore Bullets
when Earl played there.
His real name was Edward Cooper, who, as of 2001, was spending his days a skycap at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport
