are you 76 years old sir?

I was 11 years old back in 1956, and around that time, the Harlem Globetrotters visited Hong Kong. The indoor stadium was fully packed with paying spectators, including us schoolboys. We laughed so much at their antics, these highly skilled basketball players running circles over the opposition, and the poor referee, too. I am now 76 and living in London. Those were good old days. Thanks for the memories, Harlem Globetrotters. God bless you all, wherever you are. Thanks for sharing video.

They can only be loved by everyone.

As an adult I took my family to see them and my daughter went on the court and did the Magic Circle with them and I got to meet Curly Neal (number 22). Great times!!

They came out of the "coach" just as fresh as if they have been waiting in Sacramento for days. What a great time that was for a middle aged teenager. I will never forget the kindness the offered ups form signing some of the guys shirts to a few basket balls. A lot of things have come and gone in all 60 years but I will never forget the 2 night I got to "work" for the HARLEM GLOBETRTOTTERS.

When It was over me and my friend slipped out the back door between classes where they were ready to leave and got their autographs at their Globetrotter bus. Goose Tatum was my favorite to watch. Along with the : clowning" of Meadowlark Lemon. Marques Haymes too. I remember how Tall they were ( I was 5 ft 4) and how HJGE their hands were as we shook hands with each one of them.. they were so cordial to us.. Wow, if I only had those autographs today for my grandsons. 🏀🏀🏀

The title on this video mentions that it was from an 8mm film. That indicates that it was made for the home market. In the days before home video, you could buy 8mm films for home viewing. At the time, 8mm projectors didn’t have sound, so the film producers had to put in the title cards that you see. The music you hear was added to the video transfer, as indicated in the video description. Instead of “trying to make it look like 1916,” it actually looks like a commercially available 8mm film from 1956.

I saw them play in the 90's and it was a lot like this

Thanks for posting. Brought back many memories of my Dad taking me to the old Olympia Stadium in Detroit during the 60's to see the Globetrotters.

Looks like their schtick remained essentially the same by the time I saw them as a kid in the early '80's.

I saw them play when I was a kid. They were so funny in person and amazingly skilled. They played a local team but the refs were part of the act.

It's magnificent. Charming plastics without power! Thanks!

Marvelous and entertaining vintage film footage. Classic stuff for sure.

If you were alive back then there's a good chance you wouldn't even know what basketball is. It is not as popular as it is back then.

They were so popular back then and so funny. I always wanted so bad to see them in person but never had the chance. Good old days indeed.

Timeless in a way.
