thepismire CURIOUS THOUGHTS OF AN ANT

Of all the places, I had the opportunity to see the Harlem Globetrotters in China. Out of the many firsts I’ve had here, this will be one of the more memorable ones. I remember as a kid, my only exposure to these guys were commercials of their appearances during the Saturday morning cartoon block. Sometimes I would see them in highlight reels on Roggin’s Heroes (remember that?). Now, actually seeing them was amazing. The only unfortunate thing about the whole event was that the crowd was just not into. I don’t know if it’s the culture or if it was just a bad day for everyone, but the Globetrotters practically had to beg for some cheers, clapping and smiles. I almost felt bad for the guys, but they still kept their showmanship up, and gave us a good time. This one was for free, and honestly, I don’t think I would have paid over $30 for the Globetrotters, but still, I was thankful to see some Americans showing their skills to the PRC. I know this is wrong of me, but I secretly was hoping that the Globetrotters would play one of the CBA teams out here and beat them just to show how much they suck…”You just got beat by a team of basketball clowns son!” Yea, that would’ve been oh so sweet.
