The Harlem Globetrotters are an entertaining and socially responsible group of Basketball players that use their skill to do amazing tricks on the basketball court. They utilize a variety of black aesthetics including rhythym in the way they move and interact, as well as call and response with differant actions causing differant reactions from those in the audience. When I was younger the globetrotters were popular and it was always something fun and exciting to see, because they made the tricks come to life, and it was a stage for performance much like singing, or dancing, they were able to showcase special talents and work with a group.
The players were also fluid and flowed together, as to create the show, each person feeding off the next and this helps the overall impression of the event. They take theatrical themes and combine them with athletic talent to create something unique and entertaining.
