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.
