Around the world and back: Chatting with Harlem Globetrotter “Firefly” Fisher
- Photos: Harlem Globetrotters roster
Over the past 84 years, the game of basketball has evolved into one almost unrecognizable from its earliest years. But through the advent of the slam dunk, the three-point shot, the 24-second shot clock, and multi-million-dollar shoe endorsements, one constant on the hoops landscape has been the Harlem Globetrotters.
The club started by Abe Saperstein continues to travel the world and return to Austin Sunday as part of their 2010 “Magical Memories” World Tour. The Globetrotters take the court at the Frank Erwin at 3 p.m. Tickets range from $15 to $115. For tickets and more information, call 800-982-2386 or order online at texasboxoffice.com.
We spoke Wednesday with Globetrotter rookie “Firefly” Fisher, who, in the middle of his first visit to Texas, expressed excitement in getting the opportunity to crisscross the globe, entertaining families and visiting new places.
