Combining athleticism, theater and comedy, the Harlem Globetrotters are perhaps the world's most famous basketball exhibition team.

How famous? Well, they've played over 20,000 exhibition games in 120 countries since their inception in 1927.

Bringing their showmanship and excitement to millions of people around the globe, the team remains as popular as ever. One of the biggest reasons they've stood the test of time can be attributed to their seemingly endless array of trick shots and fancy moves.

The phrase, "How did they do that?" has become a mantra for their fans, usually accompanied by a look of amazement. 

Thankfully, the Globetrotter's Big Easy Lofton and Flight Time Lang show you step-by-step how to perform two of their coolest moves above.
