Everett Marcell (September 1, 1916 – October 10, 1990), nicknamed "Ziggy", was an American Negro league catcher and Harlem Globetrotters basketball player in the 1930s and 1940s. A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Marcell attended Southern University, and was the son of fellow Negro leaguer Oliver Marcell. A basketball star at Southern, Marcell was known for his extraordinary ball-handling skills. He continued his basketball career after college, suiting up for the Harlem Globetrotters from 1938 to 1946, and for the Los Angeles Red Devils basketball team alongside Baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson in 1946. Marcell also played professional football in 1944 for the Los Angeles Bulldogs.
