The Harlem Globetrotters, who have contributed more innovations to the game of basketball than any other team in history, will implement the first-ever 4-point shot as part of all of its games on the team’s 2011 “4 Times the Fun” North American tour. The 2011 tour marks the team’s record 85th season of touring.
Throughout the 2011 North American tour, every Globetrotters game will now feature two designated 4-point shooting spots on each side of midcourt, each located 35 feet from the basket (the spots are 12 feet beyond the NBA’s official 3-point line). The 4-point option is expected to further open up the playing floor for the Globetrotters as well as their opponents, the Generals, and is expected to generate even more high-scoring action and competitive play.
The Globetrotters will visit Augusta's James Brown Arena for an exclusive one-night engagement, Friday, March 11, 2011. For complete event and ticket information, visit www.augustaentertainmentcomplex.com.
The Original Harlem Globetrotters continue a world famous tradition of ball handling wizardry, basketball artistry and one-of-a-kind family entertainment that continues to thrill fans of all ages. Throughout their history, the Globetrotters have showcased their iconic talents in 120 countries and territories on six continents, often breaking down cultural and societal barriers while providing fans with their first-ever basketball experience. Proud inductees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Globetrotters have entertained hundreds of millions of fans—among them popes, kings, queens, and presidents—over more than eight thrilling decades.
