SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Court appearance

If we asked you to name a basketball team that'll never let you down, we're guessing the Celtics wouldn't immediately come to mind. The Harlem Globetrotters might. After 84 seasons of international play, the franchise is still dishing, driving, dunking, and dribbling in the most flamboyant way possible. The current line-up includes "The Amazing Race" stars Big Easy Lofton and Flight Time Lang, ace dribbler Scooter Christensen, and ball handlers extraordinaire Handles Franklin and Ant Atkinson.

7:30 p.m. Saturday; 1 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $21. TD Garden, 100 Legends Way, Boston. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com
