Houston's Weekend Planning Guide Weekend of Jan 30th-Feb 1st, 2015

     Where can you find comedy, theater and athleticism all in one location? At a Harlem Globetrotters game of course! The Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that tours all around the world.  They aim to entertain the audience with their witty styles and goofy actions while playing a game of basketball.

     This is entertainment
for the whole family, a must see! So grab your husband, your wife and your children and come out and see this spectacular show!

     The Harlem Globetrotters started out in 1927 in Chicago, Illinois. Originally they called themselves the Globe Trotters.
     In 1929 the team had the idea of changing their name to the Harlem Globe Trotters. They decided to choose the city of Harlem because Harlem was considered the center of African American Culture.
     They also thought that giving them an out of town team name, would givethem more of a mystique.

     The Globetrotters have always worked in comedic routines into their game making them known more for entertainment rather than sport. Some of the acts featured are incredible coordination and skillful handling of one or more basketballs, pass or juggling balls between players and making unusual, difficult shots.
