It would certainly bring a few smiles to the crowd and maybe even the court.

Teams might get to vie for who gets the privilege of throwing the bucket of confetti into the crowd.

Onion or not, I'm in.

And as the article (and the Globetrotters' letter to Silver) points out, they have had quite an impact on the NBA.

The letter credits the Globetrotters with bringing "the street game inside." It also notes that when the NBA decided to integrate, the league took players from the Globetrotters instead of making the team an NBA franchise. It also points out the international reach of the Globetrotters. The team has played in 122 countries, helping introduce the world to basketball.
