The origins of the Globetrotters took place in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois in the 1920s, where all the original players grew up.

The Globetrotters were initially a serious competitive team, and despite a flair for entertainment, they would only clown for the audience after establishing a safe lead in the game.

The Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater and comedy.

Over the years they have played more than 20,000 exhibition games in 118 countries. Brother Bones’s whistled version of “Sweet Georgia Brown” is the team’s signature song.
