Thumping dunks, baskets from their own half and plenty of comedy: the Harlem Globetrotters are back.
The Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals: a cult basketball rivalry for 75 years. But the Generals are no longer alone.
Several challengers are now in the mix, and these challenges are throwing up some surprises. The Globetrotters take on everyone with athleticism, tricks and a touch of humour.
What’s more, the teams are taking to the court in fresh kits and colours. To mark the anniversary of the rivalry, there’s also a limited-edition Spalding basketball, half in the Globetrotters’ design and half in the Generals’ design.
What brings the team millions of clicks online can be experienced up close here: top-class basketball. Mind-blowing dunks that have the whole arena on its feet. Dribbles that make every defender look out of their depth.
Passes so fast you only realise what’s happened in slow motion. There’s just as much laughter as there is amazement here. And they poke fun at everyone: opponents, referees and, every now and then, the crowd too.
Right in the thick of it: the mascots Globie and Big G, the favourites of the youngest fans in particular.
The fun doesn’t just start with the kick-off. Right from the moment the doors open, the new warm-up party gets underway with activities on the court and in the stands.
Time and again, the Globetrotters bring fans into the show, some even right onto the court. After the final whistle, the action continues straight into the ‘5th quarter’: selfies and autographs with the stars, for everyone. (Source: Handwerker Promotion)
