If you’re a sports fan that goes to UT - Tyler, you should definitely check out the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters at Longview High School on Sunday, January 29th . The dynamic group entertains fans by mixing high flying basketball skills with ridiculous theatrics. They will be visiting Longview as part of their 2011-2012 world tour.

This New York-based team, has been amusing the masses since their inception in 1926. Notable members of the legendary squad include former NBA stars Wilt Chamberlain and Connie Hawkins. Originally they were a serious competitive team that only displayed their flashy moves after having a comfortable lead, but they eventually evolved into the hilarious and comedic athletes that they currently are. The group is so famous, that they even had their own Saturday morning cartoon and a live action variety show in the 1970s and in October 2009, the development on a new Harlem Globetrotters animated series was announced. Everyone should watch this amazing group of athletes/entertainers at least once in their lifetimes.

Tickets can be purchased at TicketWeb and cost an affordable $27, which is perfect for a college student on a budget. Enjoy the show!
