So he took over the Savoy Big Five — an all-Negro basketball team named for Chicago's Savoy Ballroom, changed its name to the Harlem Globetrotters (Saperstein chose "Harlem" to indicate the players were African American) and pioneered an 80-plus- years-and-counting legacy. Though they started as serious players, the Trotters had trouble finding opponents, so Saperstein came up with the idea of comedic razzle-dazzle combined with high-level skill — and acted as the team's coach, chauffeur, trainer and only substitute (Saperstein also was a pioneering entrepreneur in America's Negro Baseball League). Check out the unfaltering Harlem Globetrotters 2017 World Tour 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 14, at the Palace of Auburn Hills. $20-$75.
