Harlem Globetrotters superstars “Big Easy” Lofton and rookie “TNT” Maddox, the first female on the team roster in 19 years, host community outreach events to connect with fans in advance of their games at Honda Center on President’s Weekend. Both are going to have performances in 2012 Harlem Globetrotters World Tour comes to the Southland on Saturday, Feb. 18 at Honda Center, Anaheim (1:00pm/7:00pm), on Sunday, Feb. 19 at STAPLES Center, Los Angeles (12:00pm/5:00pm) and Monday, Feb. 20 at Citizens Business Bank Arena, Ontario (2:00pm).

The Globetrotters have played games on ice rinks, in dusty bullrings, haylofts, rooftops, empty swimming pools, on board aircraft carriers, on top of desks put together, and even during a rainstorm.

New rookie sensation “TNT” Maddox represents the first female player in 19 years to sport the team jersey. In 1985, Olympic Gold Medalist Lynette Woodard became the first female player in history to play on a men’s professional basketball team. Eight women have since suited up for the Trotters, paving the way for today’s WNBA.

Big Easy Lofton as a senior and gregarious personality has appeared on popular TV shows such as “The Price is Right,” “Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” and appeared on the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards and TNT Maddox, the first woman to ever play for a men’ s professional basketball team, talked to GalaTView (You will see our exclusive interview in a short video).

In general terms this show is very enjoyable and exceptional. Even the half time show was entertaining and fun. This was definitely a family event and well worth the money. The players are very talented and this show includes comedy, dance, and amazing basketball. The guys keep the fans entertained. Also before the game started they had entertainment on the floor then after the game they had a free autograph session with the players. They were really nice and even posed for a few pictures with the kids. I would definitely recommend this show.

For those who thought that cheating in life is easy and anyone who scam others. Thin Ice, is a movie full of drama in the business where an abusive man selling real estate business tries to do everything with an old violin that unknowingly costs thousands of dollars due is an antique and collectible instrument.

This man played by Greg Kinnear who scams his friends and close people, until he becomes the scammed. Nothing new in these days!
