    		The Savoy Big Five was the early version of the Harlem Globetrotters. This basketball team was created by Abe Saperstein in Chicago, 1926. It was named after Chicago's Savoy Theatre which sponsored Saperstein in return for naming the team the "Savoy Big Five" to help bring in people so they could dance after the game.
