The Harlem Wizards
ONE TEAM: The Harlem Wizards have been thrilling fans around the world with their exciting brand of "show" basketball for over four decades. Founded by promoter Howie Davis, in 1962, what began as boooking local performances for Ex-Harlem Globetrotter legend "Goose" Tatum" has evolved into a worldwide sports phenomenon.
THREE GENERATIONS: The Harlem Wizards have been the playground for some of the NBA's greatest legends and the training ground for some of the games most flamboyant basketball entertainers. Two NBA Hall of Famers and "Top 50 Greatest Players of All Time" donned Harelm Wizard uniforms. Former Phoenix Sun Connie Hawkins, and former Boston Celtic Nate "Tiny" Archibald. Today, the legacy lives on. Current Harlem Wizard players like former Globetrotter rising star Eric "Broadway" Jones and James "Speedy" Williams featured in Nike's freestyle TV ad campaign and the 2001 MTV Music awards, appeal to even a broader audience. Wizard role models like "Tojo" Henderson and Tex Barnwell, who started with The Wizards in the 1970's, still share their passion for it all with the current crop of stars and often appear for special events. The Harlem Wizard players truly represent the future of show basketball.
ONE SLAMMIN' SHOW: Gone is the checkered wagon that in the early days carried the team from elementary schools to high school gymnasiums around the country. However, the drive to be the most accessible professional sports team in the world continues today. The Wizards have brought smiles to audiences in the US and around the world. The Harlem Wizards show is built on a foundation of fundamental basketball, serious skill, trick-hoops, acrobatic slams, and dynamic personalities that engage the audience. The Wizards create an everlasting bond between every fan and each team member.
MAGIC! Every night and venue is an exciting new challenge. The Wizard's brand of show basketball brings the player out of every basketball fan. Our opponents range from teachers and alumni to corporate CEO's and doctors.
The Wizards have participated in a variety of high profile charity events playing with an A-list of celebrities which include LA Laker star Kobe Bryant, "All My Children"'s Susan Lucci, TV stars Luke Perry and Malcolm Jamal Warner, music mogul Russell Simmons, sports commentator/writer Peter Vescey and WFAN on-air personality Chris "Mad Dog" Russo.
