The Harlem Globetrotters

The Harlem Globetrotters at Little Caesars Arena

A basketball game where the best play might also be the funniest? That's the magic of the Harlem Globetrotters. Their Rivalry Tour stops at Little Caesars Arena on January 21, bringing a blend of ball-handling skill, comedy and crowd-pleasing showmanship that doesn't look like an ordinary NBA night. If your group includes both basketball fanatics and people who just want to laugh, you've found common ground.

The Globetrotters have built their reputation on turning remarkable athletic skill into entertainment. A clever pass can become a punchline; a trick shot can make a whole section lean forward. The fun is watching the performers play with expectations while still showing genuine control of the ball. Bring kids, grandparents or a friend who hasn't watched a full basketball game in years. Nobody needs to understand a playoff race to enjoy a night designed to surprise them.

This is the night to bring someone who thinks basketball is boring. A spinning ball, a ridiculous fake, a pass nobody saw coming—and suddenly the whole family is laughing. The Globetrotters have spent generations turning basketball skill into crowd-pleasing entertainment. Their Rivalry Tour gives Detroit a show where the joke can be as memorable as the shot. The best part is watching a kid's face when the trick actually works.
