    How old were you when you realized that the Harlem Globetrotters weren't the best basketball team on the planet? For me, I think it was right around the time when I realized that professional wrestling wasn't real... I think I was in the 4th or 5th grade. I'm only slightly less foolish now.

    What do you mean the globetrotters are’nt the best team on the planet?
    They have to be because the NBA banned them from their league because they were winning every game!
    My Dad told me so!!!

      They beat the Generals 17,000 times. Sheer dominance.

        always wondered who cuts up the paper they put in that bucket that they drop over someone on the other teams head every game. at least 16,999 times they've done that tired act.

            I was pretty young when I realized it was all BS when they do the routine of 2 teammates passing the ball back & forth between the opponents' legs & the defender just pretends he has no idea.

                        Although I think some of us can relate to this video in terms of stupid bets made.

                          Forget how old but knew they weren't the best when I finally got to see them play live. Was all the same stuff that was just on TV a month earlier. As staged as the WWE and I felt hustled.

                            I remember when I was real young, I told my mom I wanted to be on the HGT. She laughed at me and told me I couldn't because I wasn't black. I was crushed. That was the first time I found out there were whites and blacks. I had never noticed before. I just thought people were people. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that naivete.

                              Nice gag OP, everyone knows they’re the best basketball team. I’m adding this incident in my letter to Santa Claus so you can expect a huge lump of coal this year. You’re lucky I’ve already mailed my letter to the Easter bunny, looks like you still get some jelly beans.

                                WWE = Harlem Trotters... Just a fake shiiit show and with a splash of trickery....

                                I think I believed in Santa Clause and the tooth fairy longer then I did the Harlem Globe Trotters..

                                          ^^^I don't understand why anyone would want to go to that NK shiiit hole to play basketball for KIM and those American hating NK citizens?

                                          Rodman had guts I'll give him that much.. He's also lucky they didn't catch him stealing that poster off the hotel wall where he was staying at.. ..
