The players have shot hoops with President Obama, played with Manchester United and much more.

The Globetrotters recently wrapped a busy 90th year tour, during which they named Pope Francis the ninth Honorary Harlem Globetrotter in team history, walked the runway at New York Fashion week, launched the Great Assist initiative alongside Robin Roberts - whom the team also named an honorary Harlem Globetrotter - pledging to spread 100 million smiles over the next 10 years, broke seven Guinness World Records and remixed the team's legendary theme song, Sweet Georgia Brown, with the help of Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter Teddy Riley.

During their 2018 World Tour, the famed team will feature a star-studded roster that includes Big Easy Lofton, Ant Atkinson, Hi-Lite Bruton, Thunder Law, Bull Bullard and Cheese Chisholm - plus female stars TNT Lister and Ace Jackson.

Every game will showcase incredible ball handling wizardry, rim-rattling dunks, trick shots, comedy and fan interaction. After the game, Globetrotter stars will sign autographs and take photos with fans.
