It had some stories of the really wild places that the Globetrotters have played, including in an empty pool! Remember the game at UCONN with the 40+ mph wind? Well it was similar as the pool floor was slanted, so the team going downhill would score and the other would catch up when they switched sides.

I wonder if Magic and Bird are travelling with the trotters the rest of the way or if this was just a one time MSU thing?anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of "Marathon Oil" and "Athletes in Action" type teams, you can now play lower-division teams (like St. Leo), CBA teams (remember the Grand Rapids Hoops?), and other sorts of teams like the Globies. The Trotters played 5 or 6 college teams last year, and will play a few this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that the one where Priest Lauderdale completely posterized Tron on a reverse dunk? (Well, if CBA players got posters, that is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And beyond that, flashbacks of Curly, Meadowlark and Geese sort of took me over...Maybe we can play the Generals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
