Harlem Globetrotters!!
well, last nite saw the world famous Harlem Globetrotter's vs the New York Nationals at Braehead Arena! for those of u not in the know, this is basketball we're talking 'bout, yeah, slam dunk da funk!! this was Chris's birthday present, and i had high hopes after we watched a documentary film on them- they play amazing basketball, but the real secret to their success is their tricks- very impressive, and entertaining!!
We had a really fun nite, but they weren't quite what we were expecting... it was more choreographed basketball, so they could show all their tricks, and included some scripted fights and audience participation! i was a little disappointed, looking for some high-paced competition, but their tricks were great! actually, the funniest part was when their mascot, Big G (a large inflatable globe/ man in a suit!) came on and did some break-dancing moves, spinning on his head- i guess u had to be there, but i was crying with laughter!
perhaps more family fun than pure sporting entertainment, but we had a good time!
[oh, and i have another interview! but it's at the same time as the other one, so hopefully they'll let me come at a different time! how exciting tho!]
