Kevin Daley Biography

Meet Kevin Daley aka "Special K", a transformative motivational speaker and inspirational leader whose life story is a beacon of hope, resilience, and triumph. Born in Panama City, Panama, Daley moved to the United States at the tender age of 13, overcoming language barriers and cultural differences. His journey from a young immigrant to becoming one of the greatest Harlem Globetrotters of all time epitomizes perseverance and determination.

Daley’s passion for basketball earned him a full scholarship to the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he showcased his exceptional skills for two seasons before transferring to NAIA powerhouse Azusa Pacific University. Here, he achieved All-American status and went on to represent Panama in international basketball tournaments, spending six memorable years as a member of the Panamanian National basketball team.

At the pinnacle of his basketball career, Daley served as the captain and leader of the legendary Harlem Globetrotters for ten years, earning the nickname "Special K." His charismatic presence and extraordinary talent made him a fan favorite worldwide, leading to features in hundreds of international publications and TV shows. Daley also had the honor of playing the double for Michael Jordan in Gatorade's number-one commercial of all time, earning accolades from Michael Jordan himself.

Beyond the basketball court, Daley has evolved into a renowned speaker and author, inspiring organizations, associations, and senior-level executives worldwide with his powerful message of overcoming adversity and achieving success, no matter the circumstances. He has penned award-winning books, including his autobiography "I Never Stopped Smiling" and the leadership masterpiece "1 Plus One = 10."

Daley’s impact as a speaker is profound. He possesses a unique ability to connect with his audience, engaging them with his compelling storytelling and infectious energy. His talks are not just inspirational but are also transformative, empowering individuals to take control of their lives and mindset to achieve success. Daley’s interactive and dynamic speaking style resonates with diverse audiences, leaving them motivated, enlightened, and equipped with practical tools for personal and professional growth.

Daley’s impact is global, having traveled to over 100 countries and delivering inspirational messages in both Spanish and English. He has been recognized by the US House of Representatives and the State of California for his commendable work in the community and continues to explore new avenues to spread his message, most recently starring in "Sweetwater," a film based on the life of Nat Clifton, the first African American signed to an NBA contract.
