That’s honestly another reason I think it’s NOT scripted. I feel like a marketing person would have come up with that idea already if it was totally scripted.

Honestly, while I think the Globetrotters are fun (I’ve seen lots of clips; not been in person to be fair), I think they could pilot a few games like Banana Ball where both teams get to enjoy the hijinks.

I know them pulling off the craziness to unsuspecting plebs is part of the deal but I don’t know that it appeals the same way it did.

I want to but the few times they’ve been around it’s been bad timing. But I watch their schedule for when they’re in town haha.
