 History, Not Basketball Mar 04, 2007
By William Snyder
"Amazon fan"
I found this DVD dull. I had expected to see actual games, not just snippets of a great shot or great dribbling here and there. This DVD spends way too much time showing people remembering the GlobeTrotters and not enough time showing actual play (and beloved Globetrotter antics).
Very disappointing (unless you are a history buff).

 Not bad, but Jun 25, 2007
By Andre M.
"brnn64"
The history aspects of this DVD are okay and cover the main issues with the Trotters, especially with the 1948 Lakers game, the 1952 Berlin Game with Jesse Owens, and the Trotters place in history. However, they could have included some profiles on the classic Trotters such as Goose Tatum, Meadowlark Lemon, Geese Ausbie (who is interviewed) and WHAT? Nothing on the beloved Curly Neal? Like hot dogs without the weenies!
These items would have made good extras, along with some stuff from the HG cartoons of 1970 for a complete portrait.

Great Production Effort! Nov 03, 2005
By Basketball Fan
"taevac"
This documentary brings a great piece of American history to life, and gives kids of today's generation an incredible perspective of how professional sports, especially basketball, has profoundly effected society as a whole -- in a good way!
Great effort by the producers; even greater effort by the incredibly valiant Globetrotters!

Thumbs down.......Where's the showmanship they are known for??? Feb 26, 2011
By S. Williams
I was disappointed this DVD shows hardly any of the tricks that they are known for. I had to go to you-tube to show my son what I was talking about. When I was a child I remember seeing them on TV performing.They were so funny and impossibly talented !!
I actually didn't know the history of them so I guess that was nice, but without showing them perform it's pretty useless. I wouldn't recommend buying it, I would just go to You-Tube and watch.
