Should Never Mention Me
Not gonna lie. I'm actually some ignorant mawfukkas are in here hating on the Harlem fukking Globetrotters.
Ignorance, stupidity and being a dumb ass go hand and hand on the Coli. Then to not even know the history of the globetrotters yet trying to speak on it.
Boy it just shows how many fools we have on this site.

You just described the NBA ASG brehWOAT shyt. It's not even competitive basketball just pure entertainment with basketball sprinkled in. I can't respect it
Saw them as a kid, they came to Gary. Met Curly Neal, and got all their autographs. It was a super dope experience.

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
Nah it's scripted entertainment. It's more Wrestling than actual basketball...basketball is just the sport by which they choose to express themselves
Saw them when I was about 7 and it was one of the most fun experiences I can remember. Some of y'all being mad disrespectful with the comments about a group with some real history. I hope for your kids or future kids sakes yall tough ass ignorant mufukkas learn to lighten up and let them have some fun.

They actually DO play real basketball. Again know your history
In addition to their hundreds of exhibition games, the Globetrotters slowly returned to competitive basketball after 1993 under the new ownership of former player Mannie Jackson.[18] On September 12, 1995, they lost 91–85 to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's All Star Team in Vienna, Austria, ending an alleged run of 8,829 straight victories going back to 1971. The 48-year-old Abdul-Jabbar scored 34 points. The 8,829 games in twenty-four years would mean the Globetrotters were playing nearly 368 games per year, or more than one game a day some days, for twenty-four years. This is because multiple team lineups tour as The Globetrotters to allow for a greater number of exhibitions.[19]

The Globetrotters won the other 10 games during that European tour. Five years later, following another 1,270 wins, they lost 72 to 68 to Michigan State University, the reigning men's collegiate champions, on November 13, 2000.
Two years later, they "set aside the hallmarks" for a "three-week, no-nonsense tour against college teams" from men's Division One. "There are no ballhandling displays to the tune of "Sweet Georgia Brown," no buckets of water or confetti thrown, and no Washington Generals to act as their inept foils." On November 10 and 11 at Vanderbilt University and the University of Maryland,[20] another defending champion, they lost close games to both teams, their first consecutive defeats since 1961. Yet the tour probably marked a decade of improvement as a competitive team.[18] On November 3, 2003, the Globetrotters had a streak of 288 consecutive victories snapped after suffering an 89–88 loss to the UTEP Miners, who had just six victories the season before. It was their only loss during an eight-game college tour wherein the Globetrotters had defeated Michigan State (97–83), UMass (77–68), and defending national champion Syracuse (83–70).
They ain't just for the kids breh but when they play real ball against D1 level talent they're gettin they ass beat
thenatural
Superstar
Clearly for kids. Still remember my first Globetrotters game when I was 8 and man that shyt was fun.
Based on what you posted how can you say they get their ass kicked by college teams?
