May 2007 - Tommy Baker & The Harlem Globetrotters - Birmingham, UK

Tommy had a chance to hang out with the world famous Harlem Globetrotters before a game in Birmingham (UK) on May 18th 2007.

The Harlem Globetrotters are a basketball team that travel all over the world. They play world class basketball mixed in with hilarious player personalities. Comedy and spectacular stunts throughout the game keep you on the edge of your seat. They use some of the greatest atheletes on the planet!

“To see the Harlem Globetrotters perform live is something that you will remember for the rest of your life” - Tommy Baker

Below is a short clip from that night before the game along with some photos:

The Harlem Globetrotters inspired Tommy in his early years to develop his confidence through learning and perfecting basketball tricks. This was also an integral part of Tommy’s rehabilitation after a near fatal road traffic accident that left Tommy with severe head injuries as a young boy.
