The Harlem Globetrotters Travel to Ottawa

The Harlem Globetrotters, founded in 1926, have been synonymous with family entertainment and great basketball skills for decades. The Globetrotters are known to have broken down barriers, performed goodwill acts, and made a commitment to fans that goes beyond the game.  This weekend they brought their show to the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa much to the delight of their fans, young and old.

The Globetrotters have entertained more than 144 million fans in 122 countries and territories worldwide. They have introduced many to the sport of basketball and have popularized the slam dunk, the fast break, the forward and point guard positions, and the figure-eight weave. It doesn’t really matter if you don’t know what most of those technical terms mean. If you are able to appreciate true athletic talent and are looking for a few big family-friendly belly laughs, this show is for you. Here are a few of our favorite moments from the World’s Best Basketball Team from their Ottawa stop on the 2018 World Tour.
