Vintage Harlem Globetrotters
Uploaded by DiagonalView. - Check out more sports and extreme sports videos.
This video is just a small example of what the Harlem Globetrotters do. They were the first basketball team to make the game even more entertaining to the fans. As they added more and more comic routines into their performances, they became known more for their comedy instead of their sports. It is without a doubt that they started the whole trick basketball movement. Every year the NBA even has a best shot and slam dunk competition.
The Harlem Globetrotters are in an independent league. They were founded in 1926 and play in Harlem, New York.

This blog is very interesting, but I am unclear how it is integrating technology into the picture. I've seen the Harlem Globetrotters before, and they're pretty neat. It's kind of odd though how they went from being a regular team to a specialty "trick team." They definitely make the sport more fun!
