On this week’s episode we take a journey back to 1948 when The Harlem Globetrotters and The Minneapolis Lakers played each other in a real game. They were considered the two best teams in the world and serious basketball fans wanted to find out what would happen if they played each other. The game came down to the final shot.
There was also another layer to the game as the Lakers were an all-white team and the Globetrotters were in all-black team. The organizers did not intend for the game to be some sort of battle of the races; they just wanted to see which team was better. But the ramifications of this game are still felt in the NBA today.
