Harlem Globetrotters
The Harlem Globetrotters have a style of basketball that is unlike anyone else, and that is why they are so well-known. They display rhythm through everything that they do on the court and display this flow that cannot be seen anywhere else. The team moves together and works off of each other very well. They also do amazing tricks to get a rise out of the audience, which displays the call and response used in Black aesthetic. I'm pretty positive that their shows are preplanned or choreographed ahead of time, so it really makes what they are doing more like a dance or routine. If the Harlem Globetrotters did not display the fluidity and seamless-ness that they do in their performances, all they really would be doing are tricks. The beat that they create through their dribbling and movement together creates the performances that are truly astonishing.
