The Clown Prince of Basketball

Meadowlark Lemon passed.

Lifelong memory, sitting center court at McNicols arena 1977 and being part of the water/confetti gag. My dad jumping up and running behind the Globe Trotters bench to avoid getting bucket of water thrown on him. Which of course turned out to be confetti.

He entertained many people for many years.

I saw them a couple of times, as a kid. Sad to hear he is gone.

Never saw him other than on TV. What a great athlete and entertainer.

Saw the HGT in person as a kid in the early '70s, including Meadowlark. That was something you don't forget. RIP Meadowlark.
