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.
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...

@@illmatticx well it was def back when people actually thought for themselves and didn't believe everything that ignorant idiots told them on internet.
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.
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

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.
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 loved Meadowlark , I saw him when I was 12 back in 1964. They were all fantastic, but he make you laugh until you cried. What great ambassadors they were. They were almost super human with what they could do with a basketball.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Same old tricks...same funny moments...Its really a joy to watch the globetrotters! I just kept on watching and watching their video...I miss the "GEESE"
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.
When I was in the 8th grade at Concord Elementary in Paducah,Ky our ball team played the game before the Trotters at Paducah tilghman. We got to sit on the sidelines during their game. Never forget this experience.
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
These playas are my favorite team of all time-In ANY Sport!!! They brought hijinks, camaraderie, laughter, and plenty of fancy tricks and footwork to Basketball, like no other team even dreamed of! Long Live the best Basketball Team of All Time-The Harlem Globetrotters!!!!!!!!!!
The original Harlem Globetrotters were by far the most entertaining and brilliant basketball players ever to grace the court. First time I saw Medowlark Lemon I was in absolute stitches. You know they are brilliant when they steal Scooby Doos thunder when they appeared in a few of the cartoons.
well yes, i do agree with that :) and in their time they were one of the best teams (if not the best)....but since then a lot of things have changed. the game evolved. I would say that they were actually ahead of their time. They could beat the champion team back then (the Lakers), but honestly, i can't be so sure if they would be able to beat the Heat today.....however it would sure be a great thing to see....the Globetrotters vs Miami Heat

Btw Survivor: Vanuatu is still in my fave top 3 along with Outback and Pearl Islands
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
One of their legends - Curly Neal - passed away today at age 77. May he RIP.
The Harlem Globetrotters have always been an American treasure.

Saw them when I was just a kid, and got a fun childhood memory to last all my life.
I remember wathcing this video all time as a kid, it's crazy how fast life moves man😢

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.
These men are creative with teamwork!
And woman
No, he was only talking about the men.
Geese was the best. So funny. I would have loved to have hung out with that guy.

Thanx for uploading this.
This will last for as long as the internet and I will be back from time to time.

You do know they where outlawed in the n.b.a, because they where 😨 of them.
@@jameschilders7423 lol! That made my day!
Well they played the NBA and beat them, the NBA outlawed them, seriously Google it!
I could watch this all day. I will watch this all day!
It's so cool and heartwarming to know they're still as fun as they've always been?
The world right now needs a performance by the Harlem Globetrotters.
I just watched this @ December 10, 2018!!! There is no other like the Globetrotters team!!!
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.
Favorite quote "I got it I got it. You got it" 11:22

Oh God! This is the highest quality low quality clip I've ever watched. Love from KENYA🥰
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.
I was lucky as a kid when it was a rainy Sunday and they showed the Globetrotters on the wild world of sports.
Eu assisti a uma apresentação deles em Sao Paulo em 1972, foi demais!

The best part was that EVERYBODY WON! THERE WAS NOOOOOO COMPETITION!
😂so funny!! I have been a fan since high school!! Love Harlem Globetrotters!!❤️
I saw them in the late 70s in Brazil!!! And they were awesome...so glad there are still videos on YT capturing their magic. Good ol' times!!
I saw them when I was about 7 or 8, in the early 60s! They were awesome and started my love for basketball,
Such a great time. Pure fun and good feelings!
There will never be better Globetrotters than the original ones!
Harlim Globe trotters are fantastic showmen!

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!
Same old tricks...same funny moments...Its really a joy to watch the globetrotters! I just kept on watching and watching their video...I miss the "GEESE"
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
Truly miss the originals. Globetrotters are the reason I love basketball 🏀!!!
