John Kline (November 18, 1931 – July 26, 2018) was an American basketball player for the Harlem Globetrotters (1953–1959) who founded the Black Legends of Professional Basketball in 1996. Kline was a high-leaping 6-foot-3 star nicknamed Jumpin’ Johnny at Wayne University (now Wayne State University) in Detroit, because of his poor grades he dropped out of Wayne State to join the Globetrotters in 1953. During the six years with the Globetrotters, he had helped the team to win the "World Series of Basketball" against the College All-Americans, and in 1959 achieved their first undefeated season with 441 wins.
