''[[The Super Globetrotters]]'' is a 1979 spinoff of ''[[The Harlem Globetrotters]]'', produced by [[Hanna-Barbera]] for [[NBC]]. It ran for 13 episodes.
It's about five semi-real-life basketball entertainers who gain super powers. ''Ludicrous'' super powers. Nate Branch turns into water, Curly Neal retracts his limbs into his body and becomes a basketball, Twiggy Sanders can use his body as a rope, Sweet Lou Dunbar [[Hammerspace Hair|stores gadgets in his immense afro]], and Geese Ausbie [[Me's a Crowd|can duplicate himself]]. They fight villains, mostly by challenging them to basketball games.
Some of the powers and costumes were taken directly from Hanna-Barbera's ''[[Frankenstein, Jr.|The Impossibles]]''.
The whole show is parodied in a ''[[Futurama]]'' movie.
