the irony of the HGT being in Geneva and I'm in NYC....

should be a fun game to watch.

not that i'd be considered for this game... but oh how I'd love to hover around before/after the game and snap photos standing side by side with the tallest member of the team and have a good laugh at myself, seeing how short I am.  I'd probably fit right through their legs :laugh:

Saurabh... that video should come with a footnote saying "don't try this at home". That's crazy! :blink:

Hmmm....Kinesth, nice photoshopping! kinda tough to beat a professional.  Next time i'm sending my designing requests to you :D

Basketball quote :

"Some things you just can't question. Like you can't question why two plus two is four. So don't question it, don't try to look it up. I don't know who made it, all I know is it was put in my head that two plus two is four. So certain things happen. Why does it rain? Why am I so sexy? I don't know." - Shaquille O'Neal

"No, but they gave one to me anyway."

-Elden Campbell (back when he was an L.A. Lakers rookie) when asked if he earned a degree at Clemson University

My fav :

Q: What do basketball players and babies have in common?

A: They both dribble!

"He's great on the court," a sportswriter said of a college basketball player in an interview with his coach. "But's how's his scholastic work?" "Why, he makes straight A's," replied the coach. "Wonderful!" said the sportswriter. "Yes," agreed the coach, "but his B's are a little crooked."

JeanPaulGagn, Apr 30, 2009 @ 12:52

I'm not sure how to embed a video properly, but these two videos are basketball crazy! I'd like to see the Globe Trotters take on the brilliant kid in the second one. Haha, even Lebron's got to be sweating now...
JeanPaulGagn, Apr 30, 2009 @ 13:09

Q.  What do you call a perfectly executed shot here???

If you can spot me in this team from more than a few years ago ...



I had aspirations of playing for the Harlem Globetrotters when . Curly , and Meadowlark Lemon played for them.. But even if they are in their 60's & 70's now they'll still beat me at a jump shot.

Two tickets please

Hope the picture gets included..
britabroad, May 4, 2009 @ 19:11

I would love  two  tickets …

 

*Because I used to be able to make shots from the top of the key--- nothin'  but net...

 

*Because from their founding in 1926 until 1950s, the Globetrotters were the only professional U.S. basketball team that allowed black players;

 

*Because I’ve wanted to see them for nearly half a century…

 

*Because I want to see  the Globetrotter  mascots --“Big G”lobie and “Little G”lobie dance… :w00t:

Here are the Globetrotter mascots, the Globies (alias Big G and Little G)

Thanks for the tickets....

Hello Everybody,



The friend with whom i was going for Harlem Globe Trotters will not be able to join me ...

So if any body is interested in the ticket please write me...and then we can plan where and when to meet..



I won 2 tickets (one for me and one for you)...



I guess its also nice idea that all people who won tickets first we met outside the Arena and then proceed for show...what do you propose...?



Thanks

Saurabh
saurabhkool, May 6, 2009 @ 12:44

The Harlem Globetrotters were really fun to see! It was my first time and I will definitely bring my future kids there. I think the language barrier and culture difference between Swiss and American people could be felt in the crowd as it took the announcer and the team constant effort to try and rally the crowd which I don't think would have been that hard elsewhere. But nonetheless, Special K worked his magic and brought the crowd into it, sooo cool "coochie coochie," hahaha...sorry, you had to be there!



Thanks glocals!!
JeanPaulGagn, May 7, 2009 @ 13:45

THANKS,GLOCALS!!!

:w00t:

Was a great show, especially when a little kid made a great shot and got a Globetrotter's jersey...and it was also great to see such superior ball-handling skills and, of course, Little and Big G!   Had a great time and got to sit next to Andrei!!!

Thanks again for the great competition....I look forward to winning another...
Translator, May 7, 2009 @ 20:23

Yes It was really nice to be there...

For me too... the most amazing moment was when kid made that shot...

It was also a nice opportunity to meet players and have their autograph..

In nutshell it was superb...

thanks to Glocals
