Harlem Globetrotters

I watched several clips of the Globetrotters on youtube. Not only are they fantastic basketball players but they bring a new dimension to the game. The Globetrotters are very entertaining and their committment to character education and the cheer program to sick children off court, only make them more likable. Their superior athletic ability is very obvious but many of their moves are not seen in a regular game of basketball. The team has style, what you call showmanship. Each player has a signature dazzling move, that defines their particular personality. Many of these moves depends on being deceptive, using ability combined sith style to make them look effortless. Their banter, signifying with the crowd or opposing team, brings the spectators into the game. The comedy is a way to break down barriers and converse with the crowd. In the clip I watched, several of the spectators spoke about going to a Globetrotters game as a father-son bonding experience, one that has been repeated for generations. Though, the individuals are different over the years, what the Globetrotters represent stays the same. I actually have met the greatest Globetrotter there ever was, Meadowlark Lemmon.
