WORLD famous basketball show team the Harlem Globetrotters were in the North-East last night.
The ‘You Write The Rules’ World Tour stunned crowds at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle.
The team is visiting cities across the UK, displaying their skills to audiences while packing in fun for all the family.
An arena spokesman said: “Renowned worldwide for their top class basketball tricks and one-of-a-kind family entertainment, the Harlem Globetrotters perform to thousands of people in hundreds of countries every year, continuing the team’s legacy which began in 1926.
“Over the years, as well as breaking basketball records, the teams have broken social and cultural barriers, featuring on the cover of Life magazine in the 1940s, becoming the first basketball team to play in Europe and selling out a tour of the Soviet Union during the Cold War in 1959 to mention just a few.”
