Our First Time Seeing The Harlem Globetrotters in Raleigh

March 6, 2016 by NC Blogger Network Leave a Comment

If you followed my last post about my first trip to see The Harlem Globetrotters at The PNC Arena, then you should recall that my husband and I were able to see this popular team for their 90th-anniversary tour this past weekend in Raleigh, NC.  You’ll be pleased to know that the comical basketball group definitely lived up to the hype! Having done my research, I knew what to expect somewhat, but I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was, even for my childless husband and I. We certainly felt like the odd men out at first since we were basically surrounded by tons of families with excited children, but we quickly settled in and enjoyed the show for what it was: a display of overly-talented players showing off their skills with spouts of hilarious commentary and antics in between.

Enjoy the show @ragopotato! – We’re ready for the #HarlemGlobetrotters in Raleigh! Thanks @ncbloggernetwork for the opportunity. #PNCArena @pncarena @harlemglobetrotters

The show began with the team’s announcer getting the crowd excited for the team’s performance by introducing Globie and the “Globie Crew”. The trio crew showed off their insane dance moves to some fun tunes while we all watched in awe. My personal favorite member of the Globie Crew was Tiny Tim, one of the breakdancers of the group. He had my husband looking like a kid in a candy store; seriously such an amazing dancer. But of course, the stars of the show were the team’s mascots, “Globie” and “Big G” (because who doesn’t love a 10-foot inflatable that dances to Beyonce while balancing on their head?)

Harlem Globetrotters Face World Allstars at The PNC Arena

The game began with The Harlem Globetrotters facing one of their toughest opponents, The World Allstars (oooooh, ahhhh). I was instantly impressed with Globetrotter star Stretch’s dunking abilities and how easy he made it look. I gave my hubby a “Don’t you think I could do that?” glance, and I’m assuming his uncontrollable laughter meant no… Whatever. I’m coming for ya, Stretch. The team battled against The World Allstars, using their quick passing skills to confuse the opposing players (and myself). There were players standing on the basket, somersaulting across the floor, jumping unbelievably high into the air, and then there was Globetrotter player, Too Tall Hall… jumping on the referee’s back. Classic. He was probably my favorite player of the afternoon! He and teammate, Thunder, took turns dropping it low on the dance court, much to the coaches’ dismay and the crowd’s delight.

The game came to a pause for a halftime show by a local dance team, Starpath Dance Academy. I loved the local aspect of it, and how The Globetrotters included this team’s performance as part of their event! That’s going to be a great memory for those girls to look back on someday. When The Globetrotters returned from the halftime rest, they certainly didn’t slack off on continuing to entertain and amaze us all. Different team members, like the team’s only female player of the game, Sweet J, took turns inviting kids and adults from the crowd to partake in their humorous skits. There were fake marriages, dance battles, and shoot-offs that kept us on the edges of our seats waiting for the next lucky “victim” to be chosen.

The iconic Globetrotters defeated The World Allstars; the perfect way to celebrate their 90th anniversary! I’m pretty sure the pre-teen boys next to us were a little bummed about The Globetrotters’ victory since they were rooting for The Allstars the whole game (oh to be 13 again). Some other aspects of the event that I loved (other than the game of course), was how The Globetrotters provided people the opportunity to sponsor a child in need through World Vision. It goes hand in hand with their love for the community, and it was so special to see so many people offering to sponsor a child that day. The Harlem Globetrotters also took time after the game to talk with fans and sign autographs, and fans had the chance to buy one-of-a-kind Harlem Globetrotter basketballs.

It’s Your Chance to See The Harlem Globetrotters!

We had such a great time for our first official trip to Raleigh together, and being able to see The Harlem Globetrotters at The PNC Arena will definitely be a memorable time for us. I mean, where else can you dance to “YMCA” with 1,000+ of your closest friends? Thank you, Harlem Globetrotters, for entertaining this kids-at-heart, and thank you, PNC Arena, for allowing us to attend such a fun, classic event!

No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has of No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has offered⁣
⁣
The question is: Are you going to let 2020 define you? Or are you going to create your own narrative?⁣

I  know you. The over achiever.  The planner. The one who doesn't appreciate failure, changes, or surprises. You desire to have things under control -- and 2020 was NOT in our control.⁣
⁣
Because over the past 7 years of living life as a coach, I wanted to control everything. Yet - things happened that I couldn't control. And my mindset was tested daily.⁣
⁣
❗️Getting fired 3 times!⁣
❗️Almost getting evicted.⁣
❗️Having collections & IRS calling me daily.⁣
❗️Having to shut down my first business.⁣

We are now wrapping up the year of 2020:⁣
✏️Do you have a sense of certainty on your direction?⁣
✏️Do you feel solid in your confidence to make it though?⁣
✏️Do you feel like 2020 is happening TO you, or FOR you?⁣
✏️Do you experience anxiety, and want to move into joy and gratitude?⁣
⁣
If these questions resonate with you, you've come to the right place. In this 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, (starting on Oct. 22) I will teach you...how to have clarity, confidence, and certainty [plus much more!]⁣

✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨ 1 plan ou ✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨

1  plan out your workouts for the week — so you have a plan it helps keep you accountable. I look at my schedule for the week and figure out what classes I can take.

2  MEAL PREP — if you live a busy life, it is so important to think ahead and plan your meals out in advance so you aren’t tempted to eat out/unhealthy foods. 

3  DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW — this is so important, if you find what you love it will be the best part of your day. 

I am by no means a fitness expert, these are just a few tips that have helped me along the way. 

Xo, cat. ⚡️

Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this time of year. This iconic church stands in New Bern and has plenty of quiet spots on its beautiful grounds for reflection. It also has a playground for the kids. It’s currently decorated for Fall and Halloween with lots of spots for beautiful photos. 🍁

WE ARE BLACK WOMEN.....we build...we don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN! We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided that we will be deliberate about building others! 
All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up! With all of the negativity going around, let’s spread something positive! Upload one picture of yourself.....ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up instead of tearing ourselves down 💕COPY and PASTE💕

Thanks for tagging me @themamamogul and @ashley.dominique ! #ncblogger #amplifymelanatedvoices

It’s not my job to educate you about racism, I’m tired and exhausted. I’m a young Black educated woman who is aware of my privilege which hasn’t stopped me from experiencing Racism, so are many of my Black educated young Black sisters and brothers. I’m not looking for a pity party but CHANGE. So I’m going to use my energy on sharing ways to uplift our community. When a Black woman speaks up don’t tell her she’s aggressive while my White pairs are addressed as confident. Posting a black square as solidarity is nice but Brands- Pay Black Creators and stop asking us to work for exposure or products when we use our resources, time, money and energy to create the same content. We shouldn’t have to work twice as hard to be heard, visible and taken care off. We deserve to be treated equally. I shouldn’t have to ask to see people who like me on your Instagram feed, travel campaigns or campaigns in general. We shouldn’t have to ask for this things, it’s the bare minimum. I’m appreciative of the brands who have done this all along. We can create change together🤎 #amplifymelatedvoices #supportBlackWomen #SupportblackCreators #Payblackcreators
