The Harlem Globetrotters at Moda Center

Chicago's South Side was the birthplace of the Globetrotters in 1926, and all of the team's founding members were born and nurtured there. The Savoy Big Five, a basketball team of African-American players who played exhibitions before dances owing to falling attendance at the Savoy Ballroom, opened in January 1928 as the forerunner to the Harlem Globetrotters. A quarrel among the team's members led to several of them walking away from it in 1928. Players led by Tommy Brookins established the "Globe Trotters" in the fall of that year and went on a spring tour of south-central Illinois. Team manager and promoter Abe Saperstein got associated with the group. Saperstein's basketball team, the "New York Harlem Globe Trotters," was touring Illinois and Iowa by 1929. Saperstein chose the names Harlem and Globetrotter to pay homage to the team's travels across the world at the time, respectively.   Globetrotters games in Harlem did not begin until 1968, over four decades after the team was founded.
