Harlem Globetrotters

The Harlem Globetrotters come out with a smile on the floors of the five continents for an American-style exhibition match. Here the score is secondary. Only style and fun-attitude count. Their open secret: a love of showmanship.
 
They have swag, the Harlem Globetrotters. In their characteristic style, the basketball players of Windy City, alias Chicago, break the codes of the discipline to offer a show that will blow people's minds. Shattering dunks, surgical precision swish, dizzying dribbles: the aces of the floor, blue jerseys on their backs, dry flutter over the floor to set the game ablaze. Here, every move is a masterstroke, attempted with malice and audacity.
 
They have the show in their skin, basketball in their heart. With humour and class, the Harlem Globetrotters disconcert basketball lovers, glued to their seats in front of this deluge of technique and good humour. The players, supported by an accomplice referee, use dynamite to create a surprising show.
 
But if it has crossed generations, it is not only the fruit of their breathtaking voltiges and gags to fall to the ground. For behind the Harlem Globetrotters lies a long history: that of America and discrimination against the African-American community. Created at a time when skin colour could take away any dream of reaching the top level, the team has long established itself as the symbol of a peaceful struggle, changing mentalities according to the flashes of genius of its players. Time passes, morals change. Today, things have nothing to do with it anymore. But the Harlem Globetrotters, giants even in their history, have not given up their trainers. Let the show begin !
