]]> James Meiergerd won the hearts of his fellow students after he landed an astonishing trick shot during half-time at last week’s basketball game. The shot was so impressive, in fact, he even caught the attention of the Harlem Globetrotters.

18-year-old Meiergerd is a senior student with Down syndrome at West Point-Beemer High School in West Point, Nebraska. In addition to competing in the Special Olympics, the teen is also an honorary member of his school basketball team.

For the last two weeks, Meiergerd has been working to perfect his backwards half-court shot so he could show off during half-time.

When he successfully managed to sink the basket in front of the entire student body, the crowd went wild.

Footage of his impressive shot was shared so widely on social media, the Globetrotters invited him to be their guest of honor for their spring performance in Omaha.

]]> Move over FootGolf; there’s a new mashup sport sweeping the nation. Globetrotter Gymnastics!

Ok, so maybe it’s not sweeping the NATION, but it’s certainly a hit on the web.

In a new video posted by the Harlem Globetrotters, the world famous basketball team recruits gymnastics star Simone Biles, and in return, the pint-sized Olympic champion shows forward Hammer Harrison some of her moves on the horizontal bars, rings, and balance beam.

The 4’9” Biles couldn’t contain her smile as she donned the trademarked Globetrotters jersey and headband while attempting a slam dunk…on a mini hoop.

At 6’9”, Harrison can do just about anything on the basketball court, but when he tried the balance beam, he was overcome with fear.

“This is the scariest thing I’ve done in my life!” he said while walking backward on the beam.




The video was a dual promotion for the Trotters and Biles as the hoops squad is visiting Houston in July for two games at NRG Arena, and the Magnolia City is home to Simone’s World Champions Centre gym.
