There's not a shred of truth to that claim. The Globetrotters were never in the NBA. Nor were they in the BAA, which was renamed the NBA when it absorbed teams from the NBL. Nor were they ever in the NBL, although some individual Globetrotters played in the NBL during WWII.

Amazing. I have absolutely no knowledge about the NBA and still managed to get 14/15, just from thinking about the logic behind asking each question. In retrospect, I should have gotten the punch one as well.
