Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The Harlem Globetrotters basketball team was founded in which city?"
...On this day in 1927, the Harlem Globetrotters played their first basketball game in Hinckley, Illinois. The Globetrotters originated on the south side of Chicago, where all the original players were raised. They decided to pick Harlem as their home city, since Harlem was considered the center of African-American culture at the time and an out-of-town team name would give the team more of a mystique. The Globetrotters didn’t actually play a game in Harlem until 1968. Over the years they have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 123 countries and territories.
