Feb 13–14, 20: You’re in for a different kind of basketball when the Harlem Globetrotters come to town. The team has entertained fans since the 1920s with hilarious antics, trick plays, jaw-dropping slam dunks, and out-of-this-world ball skills.

Look for Jersey players including the College of New Jersey’s Dizzy Grant of Princeton and Caldwell College’s Prince Perez of Atlantic City. The self-professed “winningest team in the history of professional sports” gets goofy at the Izod Center on Feb 13 and 14 (1 pm; $17–$200), 50 Route 20, East Rutherford (201-935-8500; izodcenter.com); the Prudential Center on Feb 13 (7:30 pm, $20–$203), 165 Mulberry St, Newark (201-507-8900; prucenter.com); and the Wildwoods Convention Center on Feb 20 (7 pm, $20–$55), 4501 Boardwalk, Wildwood (609-729-9000; wildwoodsnj.com).
