TAMPA -- The Harlem Globetrotters are known for fancy dribbling, impossible trick shots and on-court theatrics.

They’re an iconic team that set the trend for the NBA, with legends like Curly, Wilt the Stilt and Geese.

But what you may not know is the Globetrotters have a strong tradition of female players.

There are five current women on the team, one of them is Hoops Green.

“The first woman was actually in 1985, her name was Lynette Woodard,” Green said. “She kind of paved the way for all of us females out there and now, we’re just trying to continue to pave that way.”

The Globetrotters have a history of blazing a trail. They racially integrated the game, changed the way basketball is played and then, created a co-ed team.

“We try to push the limits every day, so we’re taking it to another level.” Green said.

This season, their goal is to break a Guinness World Record at every game, which is why their new world tour is called “Pushing the Limits.”

Green says the team hopes it sends a powerful message to boys and girls who look up to them.

“I would just say never be afraid to be yourself, whatever you love, if it’s something positive then go for it, achieve it,” Green said. “You have to put in the time, the hours to get there, but it’s definitely possible.”

One of her favorite aspects of being a Globetrotter is the work the team does off the court.

“It’s really special -- we’re known as ambassadors of goodwill, so we have so many other opportunities where we get to go be involved in the community,” Green said.

Spreading hope and fun wherever they go.

“I just want them to take away, if you put work into anything, if you’re investing the time and hours in whatever it may be --  a basketball player, a lawyer, doctor, anything -- if you invest in time, and you’re passionate about it, you can definitely do it, you can definitely achieve that goal.”

A team that inspires as much as it entertains – continuing tradition that began 90 years ago.
