Briana Green, known as “Hoops” on the court, transitioned from a standout college athlete to a professional basketball player and Harlem Globetrotter. She now inspires young girls and expands her career through brand partnerships and content creation. After a standout four-year collegiate career with the UTEP women’s team, Briana Green led them to a championship season in 2012, consistently demonstrating dedication and averaging 6.8 points per game. Following her graduation, Green pursued a professional basketball career internationally, playing for teams in Czechia, Spain, and Mexico.
A significant turning point occurred in December 2016 when she began posting intricate dribbling videos on Facebook, which quickly garnered attention and encouragement from her family and social media followers. Motivated by this positive reception, Green contacted a recruiter for the Harlem Globetrotters. After successfully completing two rigorous tryouts and attending training camp, Green officially joined the iconic team in December 2016. Her inclusion made her the 15th female member in the Globetrotters’ then 90-year history and one of only four active female players at that time.
As a Harlem Globetrotter, Green captivates audiences worldwide with her intricate dribbling tricks and signature 4-point shots, while actively embracing her influential role as a global ambassador. Leveraging her dual expertise, Green is dedicated to inspiring young girls globally to pursue their athletic and professional aspirations.
