Isner learns tricks with the Harlem Globetrotters

It's remarkable the 6'10" American didn't pick basketball.

Published Jul 28, 2017

In Atlanta, John Isner took a break from winning matches to hang with Kris Hi-Lite Bruton of the Harlem Globetrotters, an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater, and comedy. The two taught each other some tricks from their respective sports, with Isner finally learning how to spin a basketball. Bruton did really well at all the classic racquet tricks, and could keep up in a rally too.

Both didn't fail to notice that Isner, at 6'10", was taller than Bruton. The No. 2 seed in Atlanta also walked away with a sweet personalized Globetrotter jersey.
