Globetrotters

The Harlem Globetrotters are all about entertainment. They show off with crazy tricks and are all about giving the crowd a good performance. At the same time, they also manage to be athletes and good at basketball. The black aesthetic of cool is shown over and over again throughout their games. Their athleticism shows in their basketball play and their coolness shows in the show-boating they do and the "cool" moves on the court, both which help to define the black aesthetic. Also mentioned in a previous blog, I agree that most of their game is choreographed and a practiced ruitine. One could relate this back to the dance style discussed last week with the rhythem and beat.
