How to Play Like a Harlem Globetrotter
The Harlem Globetrotters are a famous exhibition basketball team that combines athletics, theater, and comedy.
The original team began in Chicago in the 1920's. They adopted the name New York Harlem Globetrotters because the Harlem sector of NYC was considered the center of African-American culture at the time. After four decades of existence, the Globetrotters played their first "home" game in Harlem in 1968.

Famous ex-Globetrotters include NBA greats Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, Connie "The Hawk" Hawkins, Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, as well as Marques Haynes, George "Meadowlark" Lemon, Jerome James, former Temple University coach John Chaney, Reece "Goose" Tatum and Hubert "Geese" Ausbie. Baseball Hall of Famers Bob Gibson and Ferguson Jenkins also played for the team at one time or another. In 1985, the Globetrotters signed their first female player, Olympic gold medalist Lynette Woodard, and their second, Joyce Walker, just three weeks later.
