Former Harlem Globetrotter, Herb “Flight Time” Lang, a native of Brinkley, has several new projects that have been in the works the past year or so, including giving a TEDxWilmington talk which aired on April 30. In his talk, Herb discusses his philosophy on life and the impact of kindness on society. Herb gave this talk at a TEDx event independently organized by a local community.

He’s currently working with a Hollywood production company to develop one of his many television show concepts. As a result, Herb is also improving his skills as an actor, producer, and being a good human. He recently finished filming for the movie “Sweetwater.” “Sweetwater” is the story of Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton, the first African American to land an NBA contract. Herb portrays former Harlem Globetrotter Louis “Babe” Pressley. He is pictured with cast-mate and former Globetrotter teammate Kevin “Special K” Daley who plays Reece “Goose” Tatum. Furthermore, Richard Dreyfuss, Cary Elwes, and Eric Roberts also star in the movie.
