Okay all - be afraid, be very afraid.
I just saw that Tubi TV has added the 1979 Super Globetrotters cartoon streaming.
And the opening on youtube to get a flavor of it. - https://youtu.be/3f1orgqZnD4
For some reason the basketball with the antenna boggle me - and the description from wikipedia says it all:
This show featured the basketball team Harlem Globetrotters as undercover superheroes, who would transform from their regular forms by entering magic portable lockers. Each member of the group had individual super powers and could fly. The Super Globetrotters gained their powers through an element called Globetron and another exposure would weaken them on occasions.
The Globetrotters received their missions from a basketball-styled talking satellite called the Crime Globe. Most episodes culminated in the Super Globetrotters challenging the villain and his henchmen to a basketball game for whatever treasure or device they sought. The civilian Globetrotters were always bested by the villains’ super-powers in the first half, but they would use their own super-powers in the second half (often at the admonition of the Crime Globe) to save the day.
