Harlem Globetrotters - UK Tour 2011

Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater, and comedy. Created by Abe Saperstein in 1926 in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name Harlem because of its connotations as a major African-American community. Over the years they have played more than 20,000 exhibition games in 118 countries. For many, the Globetrotter experience was an introduction to the game of basketball. In 2010 five members of the Globetrotters appeared on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" raising money for charity.

The animated television series "Futurama" features several episodes in which the Harlem Globetrotters appear as brilliant scientists as well as basketball players. They live on another planet, The Globetrotter Homeworld. Ironically, the Harlem Globetrotters react harshly to anyone who "laughs at their antics" as evidenced in the episode "Time Keeps On Slippin'".

In October 2009 it was announced that a new Harlem Globetrotters animated series was to be produced.

In 2010 five members of the Globetrotters appeared on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" raising money for charity.

It was a spin-off series from Hanna-Barbera's Harlem Globetrotters. Unlike the original Globetrotters series, The Super Globetrotters was solely produced by H-B, whereas the original series was co-produced with CBS Productions. Thus, Super Globetrotters later became incorporated into the library of Warner Bros., and the original series remains under CBS ownership to this day.

Harlem Globetrotters - Harlem Globetrotters Cartoons

"Harlem Globetrotters" was a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera and CBS Productions, featuring animated versions of players from the basketball team, Harlem Globetrotters. Twenty-two episodes of Harlem Globetrotters were eventually produced: sixteen for the 1970-71 season, and six more for the 1971-72 season. Harlem Globetrotters has a place in history as being the first Saturday morning cartoon to feature African-American male characters.

After the show was cancelled, the animated Harlem Globetrotters made three appearances on Hanna-Barbera's The New Scooby-Doo Movies in 1972 and 1973. In spring 1999 TV Land aired repeats of Harlem Globetrotters on Saturday mornings as part of its TV Land Super Retrovision Saturdaze lineup. In April 1972, Gold Key Comics launched a comic adaptation of the Harlem Globetrotters animated series; their first comic book appearance was in issue No: 8 of Gold Key's Hanna-Barbera Fun-In published in July 1971.

Harlem Globetrotters - Winning and defeats

In January 1952, the Harlem Globetrotters lost to the Seattle University. After losing to the Washington Generals in 1962, the Harlem Globetrotters lost only two more games in the next 38 years. On January 5, 1971 they lost in Martin, Tennessee to the New Jersey Reds, 100–99 in overtime; that ended an alleged 2,495-game winning streak. The 8,829 games in twenty-four years would mean the Globetrotters were playing nearly 368 games per year, or more than one game a day some days, for twenty-four years. This is due to the fact that multiple team line-ups tour as The Harlem Globetrotters to allow for a greater number of exhibitions. The Globetrotters won the other 10 games during that European tour.

On November 10 and 11 at Vanderbilt University and the University of Maryland, another defending champion, they lost close games to both teams, their first consecutive defeats since 1961. Yet the tour probably marked a decade of improvement as a competitive team. On February 27, 2006, the Globetrotters extended their overall record to exactly 22,000 wins.

Harlem Globetrotters - In Entertainment Field

Harlem Globetrotters gradually worked comic routines into their act until they became known more for entertainment than sports. The Globetrotters' acts often feature incredible coordination and skillful handling of one or more basketballs, such as passing or juggling balls between players, balancing or spinning balls on their fingertips, and making unusual, difficult shots.

Members:

Among the Harlem Globetrotters are NBA greats Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain, Connie "The Hawk" Hawkins, Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, as well as Marques Haynes, George "Meadowlark" Lemon, Jerome James, Reece "Goose" Tatum and Hubert "Geese" Ausbie. In 1985, the Globetrotters signed their first female player, Olympic gold medalist Lynette Woodard, and their second, Joyce Walker, just three weeks later.

Harlem Globetrotters - As Basketball Team

Harlem Globetrotters were initially a serious competitive team, and despite a flair for entertainment, they would only clown for the audience after establishing a safe lead in the game. In 1939, they accepted an invitation to participate in the World Professional Basketball Tournament. The Rens defeated the Globetrotters and went on to win the Tournament, but in 1940 the Globetrotters avenged their loss by defeating the Rens in the quarterfinals and advancing to the championship game, where they beat the Chicago Bruins in overtime by a score of 37–36.

Harlem Globetrotters beat the premier professional team, the Minneapolis Lakers, for two years in a row in 1948 and 1949, with the Lakers winning later contests. The February 1948 win was a hallmark in professional basketball history, as the all-black Globetrotters proved they were on an equal footing with the all-white Lakers. John Christgau has reported the 1948 game in his book Tricksters in the Madhouse, published in 2004 by the University of Nebraska Press; he notes that the 1949 game was filmed by Fox Movietone. Momentum for ending the National Basketball Association's color line grew, and in 1950, Chuck Cooper became the first black player drafted by an NBA team, the Boston Celtics. From that time on the Harlem Globetrotters had increasing difficulty attracting and retaining top talent.

Harlem Globetrotters - Early History

The genesis of the Globetrotters takes place in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois in the 1920s, where all the original players grew up. Hinckley, Illinois was home to the first Harlem Globetrotters game on January 7, 1927. In 1928, several players left the team in a dispute over bringing back other players who had left the team. That fall, several players led by Tommy Brookins formed a team called the "Globe Trotters" which would tour Southern Illinois that spring. After four decades of existence, the Globetrotters played their first "home" game in Harlem in 1968.
