Meadowlark Lemon, whose halfcourt hook shots, no-look behind-the-back passes and vivid clowning were marquee features of the feel-good traveling basketball show known as the Harlem Globetrotters for nearly a quarter-century, died on Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he lived. He was 83.
Got to see them in action on four occasions and met Meadowlark on each - what a great man.
Had the opportunity to see the Globetrotters and Meadowlark on a couple of times. Loved it each time and Meadowlark was wonderful to watch.
RIP Meadowlark.
He was a great athlete, and displayed good sportsmanship. Great entertainer also. RIP!
He lived his dream and lived it well.
