Harlem Globetrotters


 My favourite basketball team came to Brooklyn! My mom brought me to a game of the Harlem Globetrotters at the Barclays Center! I had received the ticket on January 15th (my birthday) from my mom as a birthday present and I was really pumped to go.
At the end of the game, I got a Harlem Globetrotters' ball and I got it signed by Bull, one of my favourite guys on the team. The players weren't all there, but the whole team's names are Ant, Big Easy, Bones, Buckets, Bull, Cheese, Dizzy, Firefly, Flight Time, Flip, Hacksaw, Hammer, Handles, Hawk, Hi-Lite, Jet, Moose, Prince, Quake, Scooter (another favourite), Slick, Stretch, The Shot, Sweet J, Thunder, TNT, Too Tall (he's not tall at all, he is 5'2"), and finally, T Time. They are not in the NBA, meaning they are just an entertaining team that shows off a lot (really, they do, I saw it with my own eyes) and I really, really like them! They do incredible stunts, like flips and jumps,  and turn basketball into an acrobatic sport. They always win the games, which is pretty awesome.
But they also crack a lot of jokes and make fun of the other teams (in this game, they called a short guy 'the baby') which isn't a really good sign of sportsmanship, but they do it for the entertainment.
This, down here, is Ant standing on the hoop. He dances on it a bit and then he acrobatically jumps off during the trick shot challenge while the time is running!
