RIP Meadowlark Lemon.

For those of old enough to remember the Harlem Globetrotters. I know they are still doing their thing, but I am talking about the real Harlem Globetrotters.

Indeed----if not for meadowlark------I WOULD NEVER HAVE WATCHED a basketball game on TV--------way back then or since. I was amazed at generally clueless me. I am MOST OF THE TIME clueless on celebrities everyone else seems to know
INTIMATELY---------when I heard the name MEADOWLARK on the news -----
I JUMPED!!!! -----not as high as he did and-------I could never accomplish a "hook"
basket thing

I got to see him several times. The team is not what it was then. Good, and fun, but not comparable to what it was.

I saw the Harlem Globetrotters at Madison Square Garden when Lemon was a young player.

Their theme. Sweet Georgia Brown is racist today.

Meadowlark was a class act and one hell of a basketball player.

RIP
