Craziest Tricks Ever by Harlem Wizards

Who are the Harlem Wizards and do they play in the NBA?

The Harlem Wizards were created in 1962 by Howie Davis, a legendary sports promoter. His vision for a basketball team was very different to the norm. Howie wanted to merge entertainment and sports, which pretty much every NBA basketball team already does, but the Wizards do it in a unique way. He wanted to do better than the Harlem Globetrotters, so he created the Harlem Wizards.

The New Jersey Devils are one of those legendary East Coast NHL teams. I've always loved this Garden State hockey team, even though they have failed to shine in recent years, they remain one of my favorites.

The team has won a total of 1515 games, lost 1572 games, and tied 328 games (as of March 2020).
