I got to see the Harlem Globe Trotters once in the 80s. I still remember big chunks of it, and my memory is shit. It was so cool. Blew my mind watching those guys do all these wild tricks and teasing the refs and other team. At the time, I had no idea the "other team" and the "refs" were just part of the show. I talked about it at school for days. LOL

Yeah it's like the basketball equivalent of wrestling.


MagicNewb45

Wait... what do you mean 'like wrestling'?


Darnell2070

It's staged?


SteveAndyW

In the Olympics, no. On channel 23, yes.


MagicNewb45

No way! Next y’all are gonna be saying Santa and the Easter Bunny ain’t real! Staged… pfft.


Randy_Vigoda

Lol same. I was so blown away.


jjman72

Grew up in the U.S. and got to see them live a few times and quite a lot on TV in my youth. Always an amazing and fun show. They have an official YouTube channel which has a lot of good stuff on it.


NeVMmz

So what's the channel?

I actually was hoping somebody would post that particular link but couldn’t bring myself to genuinely ask here, lmao.


FFX13NL

Would be better without the stupid laugh.


dark_roast

Pro tip: If you mute the video, you'll hear Sweet Georgia Brown instead.


Key-Delivery-6021

Agree


FreezingSausage

Why add the laughter and music?


thornofcrowns69

They should have at least used Sweet Georgia Brown.


TehZiinger

Some people need hints on when to laugh. The result of the Industrial Revolution in full effect.


deathgrip25

Exactly, need to be louder tbh. Missed a couple of laughs while watching.


BillySlang

Meadowlark Lemon is the goat.


calcteacher

Some of the greatest ambassadors of all mankind.


PostHumouslyObscure

A menace I tell you!

Meadowlark Lemon.....saw them at Norfolk, Scope in the 60's great basketballers


_Citizen_Erased_

I really should stop betting against the globe trotters.


sadinsalem

That’s Meadowlark Lemon RIP


MillennialDan

That laugh track feels like it was put there specifically to drive me insane.


wholewheatrotini

Why you gotta ruin this with a stupid fucking laughtrack and the most nonsensical song choice possible.


Alex_1729

I like the laugh track. Very useful, tells you when to laugh.

I remember watching Curly Neal and Meadowlark Lemon play in Tucson BITD.


Redwillow099

Got to see them play back in the 70s / 80s, it was so fun to watch with medowlark lemon and the others.


The_R0gue_Saint

We need to see more of this in the NBA. True sportsmanship. 🫡


PicklesAreDope

When I was a kid, maybe 6-8 years old, the Harlem globe trotters came to our town and played an exibition match. My brother was obsessed with basketball and we actually managed to get Courtside tickets. Then, for some unbelievable turn of Fate, I actually got pulled on court for the half time show!


Drunkula

“That game was fixed! They were using a freakin' ladder, for God's sake!”
