Founded in the Southside of Chicago, the Harlem Globetrotters were originally a team of Black American basketball players who thrill audiences with exhibitions before a dance performance at the Savoy Ballroom. Due to a declining number of audiences, the Savoy Five were brought in to attract more attendees. Soon enough, the members left the group and formed the Globe Trotters. They began touring and entertaining crowds across North America. By 1929, the team was renamed the New York Harle Globe Trotters. Today, the group is now a professional attraction that features incredible performers. One of the members, Chuck Cooper, even made history as the first Black player to sign an NBA contract.
Over the years, the team has developed countless skits, stunts, and comic routines – all designed to entertain basketball and non-basketball fanatics alike. This 2024, the team has prepared an amazing performance that will pull out all the stops. Prepare for high-flying drunks, tricky passes, and awesome lay-ups.
