Globetrotters

I have known about the Harlem Globetrotters for some time now, so these clips really didn't surprise me at all. The Black aesthetic in their performance is definitely the ''show boating." The Magfic Circle is a very good example of this. The aesthetic of "cool" like many have said is another thing that is present in their performances. Their style, moves, and swagger all contribue to this aesthetic of cool. The swagger they all have is a sense of confidence like they know they are going to be able to do whatever move they want. Not all but generally Blacks do have a different style of play from Whites'. African Americans do do a lot more showing off their skills and talents and natural abilities by doing things like dunking because they put more into basketball then just winning. The majority of whites are concerned with winning and fundamentals which do wins games, however they are not neccessarily very entertaining to the crowd. They don't take as many risks with risky tricks and things like that.
