Tagline: "I thought the Generals were
due! He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it!
Take the ball! That game was fixed. He was using a
freakin ladder for gods sake."
Plot summary: The
Harlem Globetrotters (Bobby Joe, Curly Neal, Curly Joe
Neal, Geese, Pablo and Shemp) travel the world playing
basketball with their funny antics and wild game play,
like the one time they went to Ethiopia and got a real
kick out of throwing a bucket of confetti into the mouth
of a dying boy. He thought it was water, ha! The
regular formula was as follows:
1) Globetrotters stop to help someone in trouble. The
person in trouble sees a van full of black people stop
and walk up to him and shits his pants.
2) They get involved in a dispute that inevitably must be
settled by a basketball game. Like in American History X,
before the "curbing."
3) The villains set the game in an unusual setting to
make sure the Globetrotters will lose (on ice, against
kangaroos, battling robots on Gilligan's Island)
4) Globetrotters are trounced in the first half but
always find a way to even the odds.
5) The Globetrotters superior skill always wins them the
game in the second half.
This blurb comes to you thanks to whatever generic
"HEY REMEMBER THIS" site I found that had the
Globetrotters on it. Let's call it... HOLY SHIT NOW I

Comments: There is a common misconception that
white people don't know anything about basketball just
because we aren't classically good at playing it. Nine
times out of ten if you ask a twenty-six year old black
guy in a George Gervin jersey who the player on his shirt
was he'll mumble and go "Das Shaq, ya hurr."
Shaquille O'Gervin. Ask a nerdy white kid how many
assists per game Toni Kukoc had in his first pro season
and he'll tell you, along with stats for Scottie Pippen,
Bill Paxton, Craig Worthington and the rest of the
UNBEATABULLS. Ask a twenty-six year old white guy in a
George Gervin jersey who the player on his shirt was and
he'll say "basketball doyyyy." Ask a nerdy
black guy anything and he will create an evil puppet or
robot cop, and then you might fall in love with him
through pity and time-served. Such is my knowledge of
humanity and basketball. Basketball? dooyyyyy
The Globetrotters are basketball players dressed as
basketball players, so they score TEN POINTS! Let's go to
the leader-board, Mo!
Mo?
