Harlem Globe Trotters visited Papua New Guinea in 1975... I watched them play against our national team. They made our team look like kids just trying to learn how to play basketball ball. They were just unbelievable.
I don't care how long they've been performing, or whst group is perfirming, these guys are sn absolute treasure. From Goose Tatum, Meadowlark Lemon to the present, and the gags NEVER get old!
Wilt Chamberlain is FAR from the only Globetrotter alumnus. Connie Hawkins, Bob Gibson, Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton, the FIRST African American to sign with the NBA came from the Trotters, Bill Cosby played briefly with them as did Darryl Dawkins and Magic Johnson
Geese Ausbie came into the clinic where I worked (while the Globetrotters were on tour and in Seattle). What a sweet man! So gracious, funny and a gentleman. We had lots of Seattle "big shots" come in over the years I worked there but he did not put on airs or make demands. Just a wonderful person.
@@illmatticx well it was def back when people actually thought for themselves and didn't believe everything that ignorant idiots told them on internet.
These guys would demolish NBA caliber defenses with handle like that; I always wondered why only Wilt was the only well known Globetrotter alumnus. Sure it’s rehearsed but you can’t deny that level of dribbling and it would stand legally in a pro game.
Rehearsed and practiced are the same type of preparation. Globetrotters practiced and rehearsed the same as any NBA team only they have the comedy skits added in. The NBA, of course, goes for daytime soap opera level high drama.
I was a little kid sitting courtside and Geese took my moms purse and dumped it out all over the floor. She came out and danced with him just like in this video. Such a great memory of two legends.
These gentlemen spread the word and love and peace all over the world. I absolutely adore these guys, really went out of their way to make people very happy. Greetings and much love from Dublin Ireland...
OMG so funny. I agree with the other response, they probably couldnt do that nowadays -that and demanding a kiss by repeatedly advancing on a stranger before yelling, "Give me a kiss or I'll kick your shoes off!" --oh, and taking sips of people's Covid/Herpes drinks... Still, if Geese was playing now I bet he'd still get away with things others wouldn't dare- and everyone would love him for it - some people just have that personality.
I was very fortunate as a child to go to one of their games when Meadowlark Lemon was the man, Curly was the dribbler. Meadowlark made a couple of half court shots backwards over his shoulder facing the opposite basket without ever looking once, but he did it like it was a foul shot, no big deal, which made it even greater. Man what a showman.

I can proudly say I have seen The HGTs 3 times in England in Brighton I saw Geese Ausbie ,Curly Johnson and Bob Babyface Page Brilliant guys .Thanks for the memories love you all
Some of the Globetrotters came to my school when I was a kid and I got to meet Spinny Johnson. He signed a bumper sticker that they gave out to us and my Mom still has it in her photo album.
First time us kids ever saw trick dribblin' and all the other stuff they did. I don't remember 'em using undersized basketballs, but it sure looks like they are in parts of this clip.
@@harrymills2770 Did you get the chance to see Marques Haynes and Bobby Joe hunter? They put on a dribbling clinic. Curly too. He could spin the ball on his finger for the longest time- lead the team on the floor doing it.
Meadowlark may have been just about the greatest basketball player ever. He could have been a complete stud in the NBA, choose the life of traveling to every country in the world and putting smiles on faces everywhere he went.
If u search it up, back before African Americans were allowed in the NBA and the best of them were on the globetrotters, the globetrotters actually beat the Lakers in an official game
I was lucky enough to see the Globetrotters at their last appearance at the Olympia in Detroit. The names and faces change, but the Globetrotters are always fun to see.
wtf was he doing straight disrespectful acting like a fool grabbing and throwing a babies shoes also telling a girl kiss me or I’ll throw your shoes he weird af don’t touch a girl if she doesn’t give permission
Or Showboat Hall. Growing up in the 60's and early 70's, my favorite guys were Meadowlark (of course), Showboat Hall, Haynes, Curly Neal, and one other I forgot. Didn't Geese Ausbie take over Meadowlark's place as the "Crown Prince Of Basketball"? I remember Showboat sitting down on his butt midcourt and making goals from there. And who could ever forget Meadowlark's long distance hooks? Some of my childhood's greatest memories.
I was working with those great guys in 1965 dec. till 1966 April with SLUK slovak nationala ballet ,I remember them absolutelly clearly Medowlark lemon Hubert Ausbie Fredy Neel curly ,Bill Barnes . it was an unforgettable time . great thanks dear boys to have an honour to meet you .

One of their legends - Curly Neal - passed away today at age 77. May he RIP.
Greatest thing in America history to make people forget about their problems and for 2 hrs just laugh and experience enjoyment....God bless these guys
They are slapstick comedy at it's best
My father took me to see these guys in the 70's....one of my fondest memories.
Then your 50?
Also my father with me in the same years….fantastic moments
Mi papá también nos llevaba a verlos. Espectacular!
The Harlem Globetrotters have always been an American treasure.

@@jameschilders7423 lol! That made my day!

Just amazing.......... absolute magic ... from all of your fans in NZ.....you are simply the best!!!!!
You got to love the globetrotters. There a riot. And make me laugh. Thanks globetrotters for your basketball playing. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
These men are creative with teamwork!
And woman
No, he was only talking about the men.
Saw them when I was just a kid, and got a fun childhood memory to last all my life.
Loved these guys as a kid, this brings back great memories from incredible players.
It's so cool and heartwarming to know they're still as fun as they've always been?
Geese was the best. So funny. I would have loved to have hung out with that guy.
Haha
He was a prick
@@screwballsquirrel4473 Yeh, I don't know anything about Globe Trotters but he does appear that way.
@@screwballsquirrel4473 he wouldn't get away today like he did back then talking to that girl @ 2:05
yes the whistling theme is so........ good and so are the globetrotters
The trotters of the 70s was so ahead of the times it was just pure innocent entertainment which still makes you smile in 21 says it all really. ❤️😁👍
I can proudly say I have seen The HGTs 3 times in England in Brighton I saw Geese Ausbie ,Curly Johnson and Bob Babyface Page Brilliant guys .Thanks for the memories love you all
Saw 'em back in the day. No matter the lineup, these guys are top of the line, and no life is complete without at leasr one game attended.
I liked the Globetrotters of the 70's when I was a little kid. Where's Meadowlark, Curly Neil, Marcus Haynes?
Yep, the real team.
I saw them several times back then. Great human beings. Off the chart talent.
We only saw them on Saturday morning TV here in England. But this is the line up I remember as a kid.
My favorite also. I'm 57. I guess it depends on how old you were when you first fell in love with them.
That's the line-up I remember. I could watch them all day long. They were amazing!
Geese was the best. I was so lucky to watch him live in Istanbul around 27 years ago.
nice
I preferred Goose live in Michigan over 60 years ago.
Favorite quote "I got it I got it. You got it" 11:22
Still makes me smile
I remember seeing the fantastic Meadowlark Lemon in Iowa in 1967, great memory.
And the arena was most likely small, so they were probably close to the crowd.
3:26 Greg Popovich is pleased with the Ball Movement
The world right now needs a performance by the Harlem Globetrotters.
I remember wathcing this video all time as a kid, it's crazy how fast life moves man😢
I just watched this @ December 10, 2018!!! There is no other like the Globetrotters team!!!
As a kid these guys were on TV often and I loved watching them. Excellent comedy and sportsmanship.
I could watch this all day. I will watch this all day!
Oh my Lord I love this whoever posted this thank you thank you thank you awesome just awesome

Quero ver um jogo de basquete direto das quadras do EUA manda a passagem aí para mim realizar esse sonho...🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👊🏿💪🏿
Such a great time. Pure fun and good feelings!
Tuve la oportunidad de verlos en Veracruz, Veracruz, México en los años 70's. Espectaculares!!!
There will never be better Globetrotters than the original ones!
Lol...I love to go to their games! c: Who can get enough, the ref blows the wistle about 10 times a minute.
The best part was that EVERYBODY WON! THERE WAS NOOOOOO COMPETITION!
Harlim Globe trotters are fantastic showmen!
Loved seeing them anytime they were at Madison Sq. Garden....Great guys! Great players! Great entertainers!
I was fortunate enough to meet Curly Neal at Greensboro Airport in around 2009.What an honor!!He was everything you see in his amazing games.
Meadowlark Lemon was awesome! He should have been on this list. I saw him as a kid in the 70's.
no shit!!!. I loved his hijinks
