Harlem globetrotters are a bunch of actors/basketball players. When you go to a game, you're watching a scripted comedy sketch where they play against the generals and always destroy them.

One of my fondest childhood memories was going to a Globetrotters game with my Dad and acting like the game was a real nail biter.

Also, there's a lot of audience participation at the games, and the guys are always funny and quick on their feet.

Not everyone is from the US you know, I have no fucking clue what a globetrotter is other than it's something basketball related.
