Early this year in January, the boys and I received complimentary tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters game at the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois. We had an enjoyable experience, so in today’s post, I’m going to share with you our experience and how you can create a memorable experience the next time they come around!

2018 Harlem Globetrotters Basketball Game
For starters, we were able to see all of the Globetrotters’ incredible ball handling wizardry, rim-rattling dunks, trick shots, hilarious comedy, and unequaled fan interaction! This is definitely something you will want to take your family to, especially if you have basketball enthusiasts and little athletes in the house!
Star-Studded Roster
As, I mentioned in my previous post, the star-studded roster features Big Easy Lofton, Ant Atkinson, Hi-Lite Bruton, Thunder Law, Bull Bullard and Cheese Chisholm – plus female stars TNT Lister, Ace Jackson, and Hoops Green!
The boys really got a kick out of watching Ant Atkinson, so much that Jay wrote all about him in the journal pages of the autograph album that I made for them to take to the game.
Hoops Green
We also enjoyed watching Hoops Green out there because she was the only female star out there for Friday’s game. She really showed her moves with sliding across the floor while still dribbling the ball. She even brought out a little girl and helped her spin the ball on her finger.
I’m sure that’s a moment that little girl will never forget!
Half-Time Show and Autographs
Once we got seated and situated, we didn’t move from our seats, even at half-time because the place was pretty packed. And, for me… I’m the type that stays seated once we go somewhere, especially if it’s crowded.
During half-time, we really enjoyed watching all of the of the fun and crowd interaction, especially with the T-Shirt Launch, jokes with the referee, Big G with his pop-off eyes, Cager from the Generals cheating, and everything else in between.
