Seven World Records Set by Harlem Globetrotters in One Video

The Harlem Globetrotters have been amazing audiences with their basketball trick shots and theatrical on-court skills since 1926, so it would come as no surprise that the stunt basketball team has several world records under their belt.

But this week at Guinness World Records Day at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Arizona, the Harlem Globetrotters added seven more world records to the five they'd already achieved.
