Default Basketball.

Just for a change!

My ex local team have gone bonkers lately and have broken so many records and now have a run of 21 straight wins!

Thet acquired Tracy McGrady a couple of years ago. He is possibly the best player in the NBA.

Their center is a Chinese player called Yao Ming, and is 7'6" tall! I've stood next to a full size cut out of him after he visited my daughter's school and made my 6'2" look pathetic.

So have a look at something different.

ROCKETS: Rockets gain share of West lead with win over Bobcats

Oh- their next game is against the LA Lakers.

They themselves are surprised and do not consider themselves in the same league as some of the greats from the past.

apologies to any serious basketball fans, but whatever happened to the Harlem Globe trotters, liked watching them as a kid.

No they didn't, though they may not be as good, I really don't know, but they still exist-

The Official Site of the Harlem Globetrotters: Splash

BTW, I once formed a Volleyball team called The Harlem Pigstrotters, I kid you not.
