As the Harlem Globetrotters prepare to bring their 2017 World Tour to Floyd L. Maines Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m., the iconic team took a timeout for Guinness World Records Day. Only one year after setting seven official Guinness World Records titles, the Globetrotters broke a single-day total of nine records this year, including the longest basketball hook shot.

\u201cWe are the original trick shot artists, so it is great to reclaim our records and reestablish our dominance,\u201d said Harlem Globetrotters star Big Easy Lofton. \u201cWe have been training hard so to have a day where we push the limits and try some fun yet challenging shots, is pretty cool. I mean, how many people can say they\u2019re a Guinness World Records title holder? We can\u2019t wait to put smiles on people’s faces as we demonstrate our skills and talents on the upcoming world tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the nine Guinness World Records titles, which were set by the Globetrotters, four of them reclaimed records that were originally held by the team and then broken by Dude Perfect. The Globetrotters reclaimed the records of longest basketball hook shot, longest basketball shot blindfolded, most basketball 3-pointers made by a pair in one minute, and longest blindfolded basketball hook shot.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a full look at the records set by the Globetrotters: Longest basketball hook shot \u2013 Big Easy Lofton (72 feet, 6.25 inches); longest basketball shot blindfolded \u2013 Ant Atkinson (73 feet, 10 inches); most basketball 3-pointers in one minute (single ball) \u2013 Ant Atkinson and Cheese Chisholm (10 each); farthest basketball shot made while sitting on the court \u2013 Thunder Law (58 feet, 9.25 inches); most bounced basketball 3-pointers in one minute \u2013 Zeus McClurkin (5); most basketball 3-pointers made by a pair in one minute \u2013 Ant Atkinson and Cheese Chisholm (22 each); farthest basketball shot under-one-leg \u2013 Thunder Law (52 feet, 5.5 inches); longest blindfolded basketball hook shot \u2013 Big Easy Lofton (58 feet, 2.5 inches); and most basketball slam dunks in one minute (individual) \u2013 Zeus McClurkin (16).<\/p>\n
