Harlem Globetrotters

The world's most famous exhibition basketball team didn't come from Harlem and almost never loses.

Harlem Wizards

The trick-basketball team that came to YOUR school gym, not the arena on TV. The Wizards turned your gym into a spectacle: alley-oops, rim hangs, teachers dunked on, and an entire night of chaos that somehow raised money for your school while you forgot there were adults in charge.
