A trick shot – at least the kind of trick shot being celebrated today – is an especially fancy, gravity-defying, or unusual basketball goal. The Harlem Globetrotters – a team many credit with originating the trick shot – started this special day and ask people to post on social media their own best trick shot. Of course, everyone should use the hashtag #WorldTrickShotDay so that the Globetrotters and others can find and watch their derring-do!

n
 |
| You don’t necessarily have to be on a basketball court to do a trick shot – some people shoot baskets from rooftops or other higher-than-the-hoop places! |

The Harlem Globetrotters have been around since 1926. They merge sports with entertainment, athletic ability with humor and personality. They even hold world records for some of their feats!
