"This is home. Every day, this is what you dreamed of,"
"When you was a kid, you practiced in that park and you said one day you're going to be playing at the Garden, one day you're going to be playing at Barclays. Kids that are here today, we are living proof for them."
"You never know what you're gonna get at a Globetrotters game unless you come, and Barclays is always going to be a great, amazing game,"
"It's the best feeling,"
The Harlem Globetrotters played at Barclays Center during their 100th anniversary tour, defeating the Washington Generals 105-103 with a game-winning putback dunk. The event combined athleticism, showmanship, and comedy rather than traditional competitive play. Several players experienced the game as a homecoming, recalling childhood practice in local parks and aspirations to play in major arenas. The team has performed for over 143 million fans across 124 countries since its 1926 founding and holds induction in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The game featured 10-minute quarters interrupted by comedic hijinks and included pregame fan interactions and postgame autograph sessions.
