Harlem Globetrotter goes for the dunk - at VooDoo Doughnuts

PORTLAND, Ore. - Everyone knows the Harlem Globetrotters can shoot the lights out on the basketball court with endless trick moves, pranks and dangerous dunks.

But the real question in Portland on Tuesday was: Can they dunk donuts?

Globetrotter "Dizzy" Grant showed up at the Northeast Sandy Boulevard location of Portland's hipster donut purveyor VooDoo Doughnut to try his hand at creating a slam-dunk pastry.

And did he try the famous (infamous?) bacon maple bar? Of course. Verdict: a slam dunk of bacony sweet goodness.

The Globetrotters will be in Oregon in February.
