Audience members were the big winners at the South Okanagan Events Centre in the Harlem Globetrotters 90th anniversary tour match against the World All Stars Feb. 29.

The familiar and the new antics of the world famous squad had fans literally rolling in the aisles throughout the two-hour show which along with the comedy featured some incredible demonstration of basketball skills.

Hi-Lite Bruton, whose position is listed as Showman, carried the bulk of the comedy weight with strong support on the court and in the air from Hammer Harrison who obviously came by his nickname quite honestly.

Big G, whatever he/she is was also at its face-slamming and head-bouncing best.
