Wireman Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Harlem Globetrotters have cut ties with the Washington Generals after 63 years! The Generals were 1-16,000+ vs. the Globetrotters and 3-16,000+ against all competition.

Wireman Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm curious to see if this will be the demise of the Globetrotters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREEAGENT Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I think the glory days of the Harlem Globetrotters have long passed. How many people can name one player on the team today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'd like to see the Generals stay together and enter "The Tournament" next year and go for the $1million prize. I've seen several times that they had to start throwing up bricks and turn the ball over to allow the Globetrotters to get the win. These guys did what they were paid to do, but they had a few pretty good players also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 The Globetrotters actually lost a game back in 1971. So who do they play now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlDog75 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'll tell ya, back in the day I remember some guys playing at the courts along Philadelphia Street in Goebel Park early 70s that would clean the court with the Globetrotters. I would guess that they'll now play celebrity teams or something to that effect or they'll just suit up their own guys in different unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincySportsFan Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Meadowlark Lemon is 83. So, you're saying he's still got game? :lol2: Seriously, I was posting in jest. But, now seeing his age...I'm suddenly feeling really old myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
