Harlem Globetrotters return to Chicago for 'Washington Generals' Revenge' Tour
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Check out ABC7's Phil Schwarz taking on the two Harlem Globetrotters on ABC7's Facebook page.
The iconic Harlem Globetrotters are known for incredible stunts and a lot of fun on the basketball court. Did you know they were founded right here in Chicago in 1926? Right now, they are back in our area to play four games as part of their Harlem Globetrotters 2015 "Washington Generals' Revenge" Tour. It has been five years since the Globetrotters and Generals faced off. The Generals are actually the last team to beat the Globetrotters nearly half a century ago.
We welcomed Globetrotters players Slick Willie Shaw and Handles Franklin in our studio to show and teach us tricks.
Besides being great players, the Globetrotters are known as the Ambassadors of Goodwill. They will honor a "Hometown Hero" at each game, and they will play part of each game with a camouflage basketball as a sign of respect to service members.
