Harlem Globetrotters and Craig Melvin Break Guinness World Record for Longest Relay Passing Spinning Basketball
Craig Melvin from TODAY joined the Harlem Globetrotters in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the longest relay passing a spinning basketball with one continuous spin. The team needed to pass the ball from one player to another with a minimum of six people involved. The attempt took place on the TODAY Plaza, with a Guinness World Records adjudicator present to oversee the challenge. The Globetrotters successfully broke the record on their second attempt, passing the spinning basketball with swag and setting a new Guinness World Record of eight consecutive passes. The team celebrated their achievement with Craig Melvin, who joined in the excitement and high-fives. The Harlem Globetrotters are gearing up to celebrate their centennial anniversary in 2026 with a world tour that will visit over 300 cities worldwide.
