I didn't understand the Globetrotters/Generals reference, so I turned to the mighty search engines of the internet. I learned about the circus act team versus the team that try to play normal basketball, and how the circus act team would win almost every time, interesting stuff.
Although Monk was great last night, that shot choice at the end of regulation was questionable. I think he was way beyond the arc and just went up for a jumper which ended up being an air ball that was way off target. He was super clutch late in OT though, 2 3s in a row, which pretty much won them the game.
Woah. I thought everyone knew of the globetrotters.

I am shocked and appalled that you didn't know who the Harlem Globetrotters were.

I honestly had no idea. But from what I read online, it seems like an interesting and entertaining act. Will check out some highlights on YouTube tonight after work.

In that case, you'll have surpassed my level of knowledge.
They were big enough that Wilt Chamberlain joined the Globetrotters before the NBA.

I thought they only play exhibition games? Which is usually just an act? I guess I'm wrong in that assumption.
reply
No, that's correct. Think of it like professional wrestling for basketball. They're all very talented basketball players, but they're doing goofy scripted stuff instead of real basketball.
