Yesterday my family and I had a chance to take in a  Harlem Globetrotters game at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. I have been a long time fan of the Globetrotters and loved the cartoon on television years ago.

When I worked at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, I used every break to peek in at the Globetrotters during practice and their game.

So, yesterday was pretty special to me. Getting to sit down and watch the Globetrotters in action for the entire game was quite a treat! 

The combination of basketball skills and comedy was just right. It amazed me to see the team clowning around one minute and orchestrating a complex move the next. The team members danced, joked, jumped into nets, and carried each other on their backs. The audience was wild with clapping and laughter. There was also dancing to YMCA and of course everyone cheered to the music of Sweet Georgia Brown.

We also laughed non-stop when Globie entered the basketball court. The Globetrotters mascot was filled with surprises that had the people on their feet with laughter.

If you have a chance to catch the Harlem Globetrotters don’t miss out. You will not regret it!
