This book is a history of the basketball team the "Harlem Globetrotters. It begins with a overview of the game itself and the creation of basketball rules. It then showcases a early team named the "Harlem Renaissance". It next highlights the team the "Savoy Five", with three of its team members going on to become the first Harlem Globetrotters, after a name change by their coach Abe Saperstein. It then details how the team went from winning most of its games, to reforming comedy stunts while playing. Next it highlights various famous players for the team, including a team member that later bought the team. It then explains how players were chosen for the team, and how they become "Ambassadors of Goodwill", and work with various charities. There is also even a section about the teams mascot, named Globie. Along the bottoms of various pages are definitions for words located on that page. There is also a glossary, Index, and Bibliography.
