HARLEM Globetrotters PPG Arena Pittsburgh USA
The Globetrotters originated on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, in 1926, where all the original players were raised. The Globetrotters began as the Savoy Big Five, one of the premier attractions of the Savoy Ballroom opened in January 1928, a basketball team of African-American players that played exhibitions before dances due to declining dance attendance.[5] In 1928, several players left the team in a dispute. That autumn, those players, led by Tommy Brookins, formed a team called the Globe Trotters and toured Southern Illinois that spring. Abe Saperstein became involved with the team as its manager and promoter. By 1929, Saperstein was touring Illinois and Iowa with his basketball team called the New York Harlem Globe Trotters. Saperstein selected Harlem, New York, New York, as their home city since Harlem was considered the center of African-American culture at the time and an out-of-town team name would give the team more of a mystique.[6] In fact, the Globetrotters did not play in Harlem until 1968, four decades after the team's formation.
The Globetrotters were perennial participants in the World Professional Basketball Tournament, winning it in 1940. In a heavily attended matchup a few years later, the 1948 Globetrotters–Lakers game, the Globetrotters made headlines when they beat one of the best white basketball teams in the country, the Minneapolis Lakers (now the Los Angeles Lakers). The Globetrotters continued to easily win games due to Harlem owning the entire talent pool consisting of the best black basketball players of the country at the time. Once one of the most famous teams in the country, the Globetrotters were eventually eclipsed by the rise of the National Basketball Association, particularly when NBA teams began fielding African-American players in the 1950s.[7] In 1950, Harlem Globetrotter Chuck Cooper became the first black player to be drafted in the NBA by Boston and teammate Nat Sweetwater Clifton became the first African-American player to sign an NBA contract when the New York Knicks purchased his contract from the Globetrotters for $12,500 (Harlem getting $10,000 and Clifton getting $2,500.[8]
The Globetrotters gradually worked comic routines into their act—a direction the team has credited to Reece Goose Tatum,[9] who joined in 1941—and eventually became known more for entertainment than sports.[10] The Globetrotters' acts often feature incredible coordination and skillful handling of one or more basketballs, such as passing or juggling balls between players, balancing or spinning balls on their fingertips, and making unusually difficult shots.[11]
In 1952, the Globetrotters invited Louis Red Klotz to create a team to accompany them on their tours. This team, the Washington Generals (who also played under various other names), became the Globetrotters' primary opponents. The Generals are effectively stooges for the Globetrotters, with the Globetrotters handily defeating them in thousands of games
Tom Was Here - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Florida Panthers - PPG Paints Arena - Pittsburgh, PA - 1/5/20
Took my first trip to see this Penguins this season on my first video of 2020! The Penguins have been pretty ravaged by injuries yet still playing pretty good. Unfortunately this one just seemed pretty bad from the mid first period. Florida just seemed to be the faster squad. Each video is not gonna be a winner and I’m here to show you the fans perspective win or lose. The seats were good and this is the first time I sat in the lower bowl which was really cool. It just wasn’t their best tonight. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe! Thank you!!!
