I saw 'em once as a kid, and used to love watching them on Wide World Of Sports. It's unfortunate that they just don't seem to have the same appeal as they once did, in spite of the fact that i'm sure they still put on a pretty good show.

Yeah, I loved them as a kid on WWS too. I think they were only on once a year. Meadow Lark Lemon was a great ambassador.

You have to be a very good player with great skills to make it to the Harlem Globetrotters. I wonder how they would fare playing a real game with an average NBA team.

The original Trotters used to fare very well on real teams. With the skills the Trotters are required to have ... they would probably do well.
