FEATURING new players and new skills the world’s most famous team – the legendary Harlem Globetrotters will bring their Magic As Ever world tour to Birmingham’s NIA on Saturday 17 May 2008.

By entering our competition you could be there for free, watching all the action as basketball’s original dream team take on the Washington Generals!

The Washington Generals endured countless defeats at the hands of the Globetrotters before closing their camp in 1995. Since then the New York Nationals have been taking a crack at defeating the Globetrotters (unsuccessfully) ever since.

But now the Generals are back under owner Red Klotz who is convinced he has the finest group of basketball players he’s ever assembled in his efforts to get over the hump against his arch rivals.

“The Harlem Globetrotters are the unbeatable global entertainment experience that emotionally connects to and thrills every member of the family,” said Globetrotters CEO Kurt Schneider.

“We are extremely excited about the upcoming world tour and bringing our unique brand of entertainment to families in the UK.”

Celebrating their 82nd consecutive year of touring the world the Harlem Globetrotters, who were formed by Englishman Abe Saperstein, have played in 118 countries on six continents, entertaining over 125 million fans and crossing barriers between cultures, societies and people from all walks of life.

This energy packed two hour show will showcase high-flying slam dunks and amazing ball skills combined with breathtaking athleticism and the most phenomenal basketball wizardry that has to be seen to be believed.
