Meadowlark Lemon passed away

[Freak]

It's not possible that he was 83 years old, is it?

RIP.

I LOVED the Globetrotters! My dad got to play against the Harlem Magicians when they came here (way back when). I just bought four tickets to see the Globetrotters here in January. Taking him for his birthday (which is today).

I didn't know your dad was a baller.

Younger folks don't understand how big of a deal the Globetrotters were back in the day.

I think that was my first exposure to them. That man was so talented. RIP.

I saw them a few times growing up. Don't know if he was still on the team or not. I mostly remember Curly and the Washington Generals

Seeing the Globetrotters was my first live hoops game. My favorite player was Curley Neil, he wore #22 and I did too through all my years of playing hoops. The Trotters were always so exciting to see

Funny man. Loved kids.

I had not known that the Harlem Globetrotters are owned by the same company that owns controlling interest in Dollywood.

How many of you whistle the song in your head as soon as you think of the Globetrotters?
