Saperstein selected the name Harlem because it was then considered the center of Black American culture and the name Globetrotter to mythologize the team's international venues. By 1929, Saperstein was touring Illinois and Iowa with his basketball team called the 'New York Harlem Globe Trotters'. Abe Saperstein became involved with the team as its manager and promoter. That autumn, those players, formed a team called the 'Globe Trotters' and toured southern Illinois that spring. In 1928, several players left the team in a dispute. The Globetrotters began as the Savoy Big Five, one of the premier attractions of the Savoy Ballroom, opened in January 1928, a basketball team of Black American players that played exhibitions before dances due to declining dance attendance. The Globetrotters originated on the South Side of Chicago in 1926, where all the original players were raised. The team is owned by Herschend Family Entertainment. The team's signature song is Brother Bones' whistled version of ' Sweet Georgia Brown', and their mascot is an anthropomorphized globe named 'Globie'. Over the years, they have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 124 countries and territories, mostly against deliberately ineffective opponents, such as the Washington Generals (1953–1995, since 2015) and the New York Nationals (1995–2015). They combine athleticism, theater, and comedy in their style of play. The Harlem Globetrotters are an American exhibition basketball team.
