Las Vegan Harlem Globetrotter sinks shots off T-Mobile Arena — VIDEO

The Harlem Globetrotters are coming to town next week, performing at the new T-Mobile Arena, and they’ve already christened the arena by showing off their skills and sinking some rooftop trick shots.

Harlem Globetrotter Scooter Christensen, who is from Las Vegas, showed off his skills by sinking three incredible shots — one from over 100 feet away.

Christensen’s first shot was off an upper-level outdoor balcony 80 feet away from the basket … and it goes in, no problem. Same with the final shot, off of the eight-story Toshiba Plaza parking garage, and it went in on his first attempt.

Christensen also is seen in the video having some fun around the Las Vegas Strip with tourists and showing off his Globetrotter skills.

The Globetrotters will perform at the arena on Tuesday, April 19, which will mark the arena’s first-ever sporting event.
