APRIL 14: HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS

In 1927, the 5-foot-5-inch Abe Saperstein had just completed an uneventful
career in semi-pro baseball and pro basketball. So he took over the Savoy Big
Five — an all-Negro basketball team named for Chicago’s Savoy Ballroom,
changed its name to the Harlem Globetrotters (Saperstein chose “Harlem”
to indicate the players were African American) and pioneered an 80-plus-
years-and-counting legacy. Though they started as serious players, the
Trotters had trouble finding opponents, so Saperstein came up with the idea
of comedic razzle-dazzle combined with high-level skill — and acted as the
team’s coach, chauffeur, trainer and only substitute (Saperstein also was a
pioneering entrepreneur in America’s Negro Baseball League). Check out the
unfaltering Harlem Globetrotters 2017 World Tour 5:30 p.m. Friday, April
14, at the Palace of Auburn Hills. $20-$75. (800) 745-3000; palacenet.com.
