Uniquely entertaining, the wonderful Harlem Globetrotters are bringing their 2014 “Fans Rule” World Tour to the Southland President’s Weekend. Laughter and thrills are contagious at Honda Center, STAPLES Center, and Ontario Business Bank Arena.

The Globetrotters were the first organization in sports and entertainment to let fans vote on rules when the team introduced the concept last year. Revised, and with a major twist, online voting is now open here, where all fans can choose which new game-changing rules they want to see in their hometown.

With a roster showcasing stars such as Special K Daley, Big Easy Lofton, Flight Time Lang, Hi-Lite Bruton, and Dizzy Grant – plus female stars TNT Maddox, T-Time Brawner, and Sweet J Ekworomadu – the Globetrotters’ one-of-a-kind family show features mesmerizing ball handling, an assortment of trick shots, high-flying dunks, and precise timing – all with an array of comedy guaranteed to entertain the young and the young at heart. After virtually every game, Globetrotter stars remain on the court for autographs and photographs with fans.

The Harlem Globetrotters

February 11, 2013 — Leave a comment

The Harlem Globetrotters return to Los Angeles for another action packed game of street basketball at the Staples Center and Honda Center! They are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater, and comedy. The 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.

The Globetrotters started in Chicago, Illinois in the 1920s, where a 24-year-old businessman named Abe Saperstein formed a small basketball team called the Savoy Big Five. He was just trying to promote a nightclub called the Savoy Ballroom, but in just a few years the team had played over 1,000 games around the country and become the Harlem Globetrotters.

They decided to pick Harlem as their home city since Harlem was considered the center of African-American culture at the time, and an out-of-town team name would give the team more of a mystique. The 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 1941, the Globetrotters signed Reece “Goose” Tatum, an all-time great who developed amazing comedy moves and changed the direction of the team. By the end of the war the Globetrotters had played an incredible 30,000 games (losing only 2190) and were featured on the cover of Life magazine. Those were remarkable achievements at a time when America was deeply segregated by race. The team toured the world, breaking cultural and social barriers along with basketball records. They were the first team to play basketball in Europe.

The Globetrotters have appeared in their own movies and TV shows and have been seen by hundreds of millions of people in 120 countries. They are simply the most famous basketball team in the world.

Right this way, ladies and gentlemen, right this way! Don’t be afraid to step right up, the circus is in town and you’d be a clown to miss it! That’s right, the circus, and this show is far more then a common traveling company of performers. I attended this past weekend and it was a captivating spectacle that only Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey could deliver. The show had me on the edge of my seat and my eyes peeled wide open trying to keep track of all the breath taking entertainment. The circus has truly come a long way from traditional acts to include death defying stunts and elegant performances that had everyone screaming lions, tigers, and dragons! This really was The Greatest Show On Earth!

Their brand new show Dragons brings together tribes from the far reaches of the earth that are brought together in a single performance, displaying their breathtaking skills in a circus tournament of champions. Each tribe must prove that they have virtues of Courage, Strength, Wisdom, and Heart to arouse dragons which appear right before your very eyes!

Some of my favorite acts included the animals, that ranged from small cats to majestic lions and tigers, from comedic dogs to beautiful elephants. Here you can see an elegant act involving horses where you can see the incredible riding skills the performers have mastered.

Their new show Dragons has a far East theme and is filled with entertaining acts that tell a story throughout the show. Here you can see a martial arts expert jump through a ring of blades set on fire. The performers also display amazing feats of strength through mind, body, and spirit.

So, if you’re looking for live and in your face entertainment, look no further. The show is for all ages and is a great way to bring friends and family together. Book your tickets now, you don’t want to miss the big top in a town near you!
