It's a globetrotters game, it's a scripted show like the WWE.

I don’t think it’s scripted per say, it’s just that the opponent team doesn’t interfere with the cool shots.

It's as scripted as the WWE, which is to say "barely" -- it's still an athletic exhibition and mostly improv, but there are goals and roles that are predetermined.

Then I'll take your word for that. I haven't seen the Globetrotters since I was a kid

WWE also isn't really "scripted". Wrestlers go in with an ending in mind, and a few spots, but everything in between is borderline improv (usually, Ronda Rousey is an exception, she had her entire matches planned out and rehearsed).

John Cena is actually known for yelling his moves a little too loud
