Game on! The best players in the world are coming back to Bangor

Finally, the time has come to welcome back to Bangor, the world famous, original Harlem Globetrotters. The Cross Insurance Center, will be the place to be on Wednesday, February 7th, at 7pm, as they make their yearly stop in town.

The Harlem Globetrotters 2024 World Tour is coming with game like never before! Your favorite Globetrotter stars are bringing out their amazing basketball skill, outrageous athleticism, and a non-stop good time.

See Hammer, TNT, Bulldog, Cheese, Torch, Hot Shot, Jet, Wham and Thunder, as they run circles around the Washington Generals. Who knows? you just might find yourself mid-court as part of the all-new, fan filled Halftime Skills Showcase.

The doors will open at 6:00 PM. Magic Pass doors will be open from 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM.

As of September of last year, the Cross Insurance Center is now a cashless venue.

They will accept credit & debit cards, along with mobile pay options. They also offer cards that guests can load cash onto.

Of course, it will be all the basketball fun that you have come to expect over the years, but they are promising a bunch of new tricks and treats for fans of all ages.

A few years back, we asked listeners to submit their trick shot videos, for a chance to win tickets, and we received some incredible entries.

Between the Legs Layup

"The Move" has been entertaining onlookers since middle school. While Dr. J. and Kobe made a between the leg layup look epic. I'm a short chubby white guy with little ups and fans of this shot usually find it hysterical. Enjoy.
