The Harlem Globetrotters
When you were a kid was there a jingle or the opening bars of a theme song that made you laugh and smile upon hearing it? For me, the unmistakable first chords of the Harlem Globetrotters theme music always made me smile. The basketball antics and tricks that these awesome players have used for years are part of my fondest memories as a kid. From playing for the Chinese Premier in 1979 to the Saturday morning “Harlem Globetrotters Show” cartoon that ran for three years and was syndicated to thirty countries, the Harlem Globetrotters represent some of what is best in America.
I am happy to report that, after 82 years, these entertaining players are still making people of all ages smile and laugh today! On January 16, 2009 the Harlem Globetrotters will bring their unique brand of entertainment to Knoxville. Tickets are still available for this event to be held at Thompson-Boling Arena so if you have kids of your own or want to relive some of those childhood memories this is the perfect opportunity! Is that bucket full of water OR confetti? You won’t know until it is thrown!
