A great and entertaining basketball player playin' for the God squad now... Ex-Globetrotters star Meadowlark Lemon dies December 28, 2015 | Meadowlark Lemon, the "clown prince" of basketball's barnstorming Harlem Globetrotters, whose blend of hook shots and humor brought joy to millions of fans around the world, has died. He was 83.
There are just some people who go through life pretending to be human, when they actually are angels - and The Meadowlark was positively one of them. The humor, joy and good will as an ambassador he brought to his special brand of basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters has never been equaled. Along with the dribbling specialist, Curley Neal, Meadowlark Lemon certainly was one of the most entertaining, exciting and joyful people to ever walk the earth. RIP................
