Harlem Globetrotters
February 18, February 24
A Harlem Globetrotters basketball game is unlike anything else. For more than nine decades, the team have combined on-court shenanigans with impressive basketball prowess. Always looking for new ways to entertain, the Globetrotters has created an acrobatic trampoline dunk known as the “Flying Globies,” who perform amazing stunts. Part of the fun is how they involve the crowd in their pranks. Long-time fans will cheer (and boo) the return of the Washington Generals as the Globetrotters’ opponents.
