Harlem Globetrotters
Greetings to all.
February 29th. How better to celebrate an extra day in the year than taking your boy to see the Harlem Globetrotters for the first time?
That is what we did. We got all the Saturday chores out of the way, then left for the train.
The train dropped us off at the Pepsi Center. We stood in line for a $25 tub of popcorn, then found our seats.
For the most part the entertainment held Xavier's attention through the first two periods. He really had no idea what to expect when he was asked if he wanted to go see the Harlem Globetrotters.
All the theatrics and basketball-themed WWF-like scripted story lines did grow thin with him near the end of the second period. Apart from a few of the Globetrotters' famous shenanigans, Xavier did not truly care for that side of the show.
What did hold his attention was the players' tricks with the basketball, and interestingly, when they played actual basketball on the court.
We did not leave with a commemorative ball or any other memorabilia, Xavier did not ask for any. By the end of the forth period he was asking to head back to the train and head for home.
