I like that move where the ball rolls along their arms from fingertip to fingertip, past their head. It kinda reminds me of watching the cartoons in the 80s when I was a kid. ?
I can’t wait to introduce my kids to the majic that is the Harlem Globetrotters. Yay!
I love the Harlem Globetrotters ever since I can remember! I first saw them in 2000 and I would love to take my kiddos to see them and experience firsthand how awesome they are. I’m excited that there are five new rookies this year and can’t wait to see their moves. I love when they use 4 players to throw th basketball amongst each other and do tricks to get the all in at the net by carrying one player to the net and then dunking it! I love their moves!
I saw the Harlem Globetrotters when they did an exhibit at Beth Israel in September, as a special treat to the students and teachers from Beth Israel’s Shlenker, Beth Yeshurun Day School, and ERJCC, after the recent flooding and Hurricane Harvey that we had in Houston. Moose and Flip were so awesome – showing the students some of their moves and the important lesson they shared. I would LOVE to see the Harlem Globetrotters on tour, when they come to Houston the end of January!! I remember the great names of Meadowlark Lemon and Curly – performing on TV when I was younger. I loved seeing them spin the basketball on their finger, bounce the basketball off their head, and do flips in the air! HOPE TO WIN!!
I saw the Harlem Globetrotters In my high school gymnasiums when I was younger. All of their moves were pretty amazing!
