This is probably my favourite photo, so much yes. They are hilarious, guys.
Earlier in the week, Globetrotters Flight Time and Bull Bullard stopped by a local school for a presentation on anti-bullying. I chatted with Bull about why it's important they get involved:

Harlem Globetrotters
give back on and off the courts
The Harlem Globetrotters have been entertaining audiences
worldwide for more than 85 years and although they are known for their
incredible basketball skills and energetic games, it’s what they do once they
step off the court that takes them to the next level.
As Ambassadors of Goodwill, the Harlem Globetrotters take
the time to get involved in various programs that encourage youth involvement
and awareness, such as C.H.E.E.R. and Smile Patrol. In support of the
International Day of Pink on April 9, Globetrotters Flight Time Lang and Bull
Bullard visited Claude Watson School of the Arts in Toronto to do a
presentation on the ABCs of Bullying Prevention, a new community outreach
program that focuses on “Action, Bravery and Compassion.”
Bull explains the importance of starting to teach these
lessons at a young age. “That’s when they listen and that’s when they’re most
keen,” says Bull. “Especially if they have a role model out there, whether it’s
a Harlem Globetrotter or anyone of celebrity status, they’re going to zone in
and listen to them.“
They aim to spread important messages to today’s youth. “The
best advice I got as a kid was to speak up for myself. My thing was though,
that I never did. So now our message to the kids is to make sure they do speak
up,” says Bull. “We want to make sure they do take action.”
