monkeypower Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Yeah, but the use of "Harlem" is already a bit of a facsimile. They started in Chicago and picked Harlem because of its connection to black American culture as a way to basically promote/indicate that they were a team of black players. To add on, their executive headquarters are located outside of Atlanta, so neither Harlem nor Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 If they want to stay New York-adjacent, could the new arena on Long Island that the Islanders are moving into be a possibility? It sounds like it's already slated to host college basketball games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Globetrotters have been a barnstorming team since their inception (it's in the name!). I like the idea. My only requirement is they have to go back to the Meadowlark Lemon era jerseys. This would be a top ten NBA uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 This fight was set at MGM Grand in Vegas...which happens to be across the street from New York New York.

Cruhawk7975 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Anyone think there might be a space for them in the G-League ala the NBA's "Ignite" team in Walnut Creek? maybe as like an east coast equivalent, or a barnstorming team sponsored by the league that plays international teams in Europe/Africa/China as a marketing tool?

Would be somewhat reminiscent of the so-called “Golden Age of Baseball” They’d have to actually be in New York. Which is the only reason to do it. If they were serious. Which they aren’t.
