I was expecting to see their famous ball tricks, but they also play an actual scrimmage that incorporates their different stunts and pranks. There was also a lot of silliness, jokes and g-rated trash talking, more than I was expecting, but all the kids in the audience were laughing along. I thought it was cool that there are female players on the Globies team too, I had no idea.
The boys were pretty attentive, more than I was giving them credit for considering them being so young. I was afraid the arena and noises might be too overwhelming, but they ate a big bowl of popcorn and took it all in stride, lol. Ben, who already loves balls was especially captivated. They also liked seeing the mascot and bobbing around to the modern music being played.
Also, I liked that the event brought together different generations too, not just parents and their kids, but grandparents too. I know the boy's Pop was bummed he wasn't invited. Our bad, next time. Fortunately, they tour frequently, even internationally to Germany and other countries, thus their annual "world" tour. Find an upcoming location near you.
Can you spot what's wrong with this picture? Look at the net :) |
Disclosure: We received complimentary media tickets to the Harlem Globe Trotters for review, however, we had planned on attending either way and all opinions are of course my own.
I love seeing the Harlem Globe trotters when I was a kid, and my son loved seeing them also when he was growing up! They are so amazing with all the tricks that they can do with a basketball-they truly are gifted athletes!
ReplyDeleteSo incredible what the Harlem Globetrotters can do, my kids get so excited to see them, we went a few years back and they loved it. Always cool to see the cool tricks they do, even watching them on the TV.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun show they put on! My grandsons would love to go see them in person!
