They presented the pope with a framed #90 jersey with the words "Pope Francis" on the back.
They also took some selfies with the crowd and tried to teach the pope a trick or two with the basketball, including spinning it on his finger.
"We have been able to do a lot of things in our lives and meeting the pope is probably at the top of that list right now," Herbert "Flight Time" Lang said. "I've met the president twice and we have all met a bunch of famous people, but I have to say today was the most nervous I've been in long time. It was a good excitement though."
The Globetrotters are currently on a tour of Italy.
