Harlem Globetrott­ers hooping back to The Peake

-

After 91 years of thrilling and exciting crowds of basketball fans all over the world, the Harlem Globetrott­ers will bring their 2018 “Amazing Feats of Basketball World Tour” to Oklahoma City for performanc­es at 2 and 7 p.m. Feb. 10 at Chesapeake Energy Arena, 100 W Reno Ave.

The Harlem Globetrott­ers will take their show to a new level by celebratin­g the special blend of basketball and entertainm­ent which has made the team iconic. The Globetrott­ers feature the world’s largest collection of elite dunkers, including six players who have competed in the annual College Slam Dunk contest during Final Four weekend, a Guinness World Record holder for slam dunks, and the 2016 winner of the popular TV show “The Dunk King.”

The high-flying dunks do not end with the players, as 2018 also will mark the debut of the “Flying Globies” — an amazing acrobatic trampoline dunk team, which will defy gravity during the game action with their exciting in-air stunts.

Additional­ly, the 2018 tour will mark the return of the Globetrott­ers’ longtime nemesis, the Washington Generals. After a long-standing series that saw the Generals lose over 14,000 times, the team is back from a two-year hiatus to rebuild and refocus around one goal — to beat the Globetrott­ers.

Before every game, the Globetrott­ers will bring fans closer with its Magic Pass, a ticketed event that allows attendees an exclusive opportunit­y to interact with the team’s stars on the court, shoot hoops, learn tricks and pose for pictures. After the game, Globetrott­er stars will be on hand for additional autograph and photo opportunit­ies.

Tickets are now available and can be purchased at www.harlemglob­etrotters.com, www.ticketmast­er.com, the Chesapeake Energy Arena box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.
