With this balancing act and the Pope's smile, the Harlem Globetrotters stole the spotlight during the Pope's general audience in St. Peter's Square.<\/p>\n
Because the team is 90-years-old, the players gave him a jersey with his name and the number 90. The Globetrotters, who are known throughout the world for skills as entertainers, essentially made him part of the team for a day.<\/p>\n
Players taught the Pope a few moves, and he did his best to keep up.<\/p>\n
Between the laughter and joking, one of the players thanked Pope Francis the work he does every day and jokingly told him that he could play with the jersey on.<\/p>\n
'Thank you.'
\n'Thank you for everything you do.'<\/p>\n
'It's for you, you can come out front and play.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
They said it is the ninth time that they met a pope. In fact, the team met with Pope John Paul II in 2000.<\/p>\n
