They came, they saw - they slamdunked.
One of basketball's most famous teams, the Harlem Globetrotters, yesterday unleashed a wide array of gravity-defying tricks in front of thousands of fans at Auckland's North Shore Events Centre.
The all-star team put on two shows, highlighting their hoop hijinks.
The Harlem Globetrotters - one of sport's greatest travelling roadshows - started in 1926. The franchise has since played more than 22,000 games and has appeared in more than 120 countries around the globe, often playing along to their signature tune Sweet Georgia Brown.
The squad currently touring New Zealand features the antics of "Big Easy" Lofton, "Thunder" Law, "Flight Time" Lang, "Hammer" Harrison and "Too Tall" Hall.
