''The Super Globetrotters'' is a 1979 spinoff of ''[[The Harlem Globetrotters]]'', produced by [[Hanna -Barbera]] for [[NBC]]. It ran for 13 episodes. It's 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 [[Hairy Hammerspace|stores gadgets in his immense afro]], and Geese Ausbie [[MesMe'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]]''.
