Indeed, I was very sad to hear this.

By the way the place I heard it from also quoted Wilt Chamberlain as saying Meadowlark Lemon was the most talented basketball player he had ever seen.

I saw the HG's in a high school gym back in 1970's. I still remember Meadowlark and Curly Neal vividly. Those Washington Generals never got a break!

"Sweet Georgia Brown"

My memories of Lemon go back to my childhood as well.

I was five or six when he started with the Globetrotters.

I got to see him in the mid 70's. I was 8 I think. My father was thrilled to see him because he had seen him play in the early 60's. Thanks for sharing.

incontrol · 29 December 2015, 01:45 PM

He was an amazing athlete and comedian. I too loved watching him as a kid. God bless him, RIP.

RIP
Saw him and the HG's in the 70's.
He was something to see.

Meadowlark Lemon

Wow. Remember him well. I even had a 45 of Sweet Georgia Brown that I dribbled to as a kid. Godspeed.

Watched him many times on TV and a few times live. He was the Harlem Globetrotters IMO

Same here.....my parents took me to see the HGT's on several occasions when they used to come over to the UK on their tours and play at the Empire Pool Wembley back in the early 70's.
