I was probably 10 years old when I watched that episode. My father said, boy these guys are Harlem Globetrotters, best basketball team in the world. I just wanted to watch it again and thanks to youtube. Thnx for sharing
My friends and I were so into this show we got our coach to name our AYSO soccer team "The White Shadows" in 1980. We were the best 11 year old players in town based on the name alone scaring the other team.
Imagine the coordination of events when the White Shadow was on the air and Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were grabbing national headlines for their college play. Johnson and Bird's arrival in the Pro's may have saved the NBA, (with possibly an assist from the White Shadow).
I grew up watching Baby Face Paige and Edmon Lawrence both were outstanding high school basketball players of course and the battle they gave each other on the court was something to witness. I was blessed to a witness of it. I remember well, the gymnasium would be Packed, with lots standing to watch also.
I wished they had done a reunion show where all the players come back and share what they had been doing all those years after they left. Sadly Bruce Platrow and Ken Howard are now gone
Do you have the part right before the game where Thorpe says "Well what do we have here? Our refugees from carwash. You ready for a lesson in roundball, fellas?" Or after where they say "Well HOW ABOUT THAT? We were playin the Harlem Globetrotters" lol
It would have been great if some 30 years after the show they did a reunion episode where the players are invited back to school and everyone can see whether Coach Reeves made a difference in their lives (II'm sure he did )
This episode was filmed less than a year after Meadowlark Lemon left the Globetrotters. Geese took over as the Clown Prince of the team, but did not get the recognition he deserved.
There is no doubt that Meadowlark was great, but even the players said he was predictable as he did exactly what he was supposed to, when he was supposed to do it. Geese on the other hand was the opposite, they never knew - he could be in the stands eating popcorn or playing with a kid while the others did the job. I loved Geese, he was naturally funny and looked like he was always having a good time.
I can't believe I missed this episode. The old school Globetrotters were great. This show could never be made now because as modern media often states, "a show about the white man going into the ghetto and solving all the problems". In reality, it opened a window on neighborhoods like that and the problems needing to be faced instead of liberals allowing them to just get worse.
teejay Trujillo, I'm calling bullshit on that. Liberals allow people to be who they are instead of forcing them to comply and taking advantage of them like a Conservative dumb ass.
@@larpsim Who they are? You mean forcing little boys to dress like girls because of gender fluidity. The Boy Scouts can't be Boy Scouts anymore because of Liberals. Liberals are the most psychopathic control freaks in the world and just like you, they can't keep their noses out of businesses they know nothing about.
"A man should never be ashamed of an honest days work." A 'freaking" Men!
Absolutely loved this show as a boy in the late '70s/early '80s.
If I could only go back tobthat original day I saw this over 45 years ago
White Shadow
RIP
That's a wonderfull life-lesson
GREATEST EPISODE EVER ON TV!

the coach played by actor Ken Howard passed away today at 71..sucks..loved that show
I loved that show. And this was a great episode!
I remember this episode when I was a 10 year old kid🤣
The best chapter ever of this show!!
Thank you.. for sharing these great show..
Glad you enjoyed it

Loved this show growing up
great scene, great show
Bruce Paltrow was the MAN!!! This show is so well written and thought out. I think Sudekis took a lot of this and worked it into Ted Lasso.
"In yo face!"
rip ken howard
Great show and 3 of the cast became great directors.
Great episode 🏀 😂 classic Trotters from 3:50-end
That Curly Neal on Haywood, at 3:25-3:30, is beyond comical.....!!!!!!! (LOL!)
I just saw it. RIDICULOUS!
Straight 🤡!!!!
Gwyneth Paltrow's dad created "The White Shadow." One of my favorite shows growing up, especially the episodes with lots of basketball action.
I wished they had done a reunion show where all the players come back and share what they had been doing all those years after they left. Sadly Bruce Platrow and Ken Howard are now gone
Now the SJWs attack that show because it was a "white man coming to save the black people". No one sees what they see. It was a great show.
I know Twiggy Sanders in person, he is a great person and he is really nice and funny.
I remember watching Twiggy as a little kid. He was one of my favorites. How’s he doing?
Rest in Peace Curley Neal.
The original And 1 mix tour!!
What about the season 3 episode where Coolidge tries out for the Globetrotters.
Just heard the news.. Rip coach..
GREAT CONNECTION TBK🏀

Küçük bir çocukken 80'lerin başıydı. Koçla beraber bende böyle gülmüştüm. 😁 Meğer onlar Harlem'miş
This is a lost episode that I could never find. It was not even listed on HULU.
Because the Harlem Globetrotters are in it. Probably too expensive to pay royalties fee to them.
Nobody on the Carver team recognized Curly Neal or Geese Ausbie
RIP, Mary Tyler Moore whose production Company bought this show to the air.
The cat dribblin' the basketball is brilliant.....!
The great Fred "Curly" Neal
I just found out about K.Howard!RIP!
It would have been great if some 30 years after the show they did a reunion episode where the players are invited back to school and everyone can see whether Coach Reeves made a difference in their lives (II'm sure he did )
I would love to see that......St. Elsewhere continued w Coolidge but would love to know what became of the others
Made them look like the Generals.
I was in third grade when I seen this show
I stand corrected. Geese got recognized enough to have his jersey number retired. He was a great showman. Just wasn't as arrogant as Meadowlark.
Salim The Barefoot Sage,
Arrogant is not the right word. Meadowlark was a more of a natural showman.
How could they have not recognized Curly Oneal
this show was great but i do remember the time one of them was actually Killed (on the show) that shit stayed with me
Yes, when Jackson (the one who always wore that hat) got shot & killed at the liquor store. Jackson was my favorite so that episode traumatized me.
Curtis Jackson…. Biggest tragedy in network TV history
@@bvalenz well...i think Henry Blake from M.A.S.H. getting killed is up there....
Don't you hate it when a bunch of CARWASH guys smoke a high school team on the court
Coolidge got nervous and bricked on his first shot.
Looks like Twiggy and Jimmy DNP

👍😁👍😁
Where's Meadowlark?
He left the team the year before
Not buying for one second that those kids didn't know who Curly Neal was.
this is tha most unrealistic episode of em all. how tha hell tha team dont know who tha globetrotters were esp when they played against them.

Lmao carver players got whupped by the globetrotters 😂 😂 😂 😂
A good show but I had forgotten how bad the cast really was at basketball.
Compared to Teen Wolf or Spirit of the Game they are the Globe Trotters.
😆😆😆
