What an amazing athlete…
Meadowlark (I always loved his name!)…joined the Harlem Globe Trotters in 1954…played with greats like Wilt Chamberlain…brought happiness and joy to millions all around the world.
They were serious players as well.
Here’s a video…not great quality…but there are others.
I’m gonna miss you, Meadowlark…Rest In Peace.

I watched every game played by the Harlem Globetrotters and Meadowlark Lemon was my favorite. I really miss them. R.I.P. Meadowlark, you will be sorely missed.
I got to see them (and him) at our high school way back when. They were pretty amazing.
I am not a sports fan, never saw a single game they played. But I honor them, and Meadowlark's memory for the work they did with at risk youth. RIP Meadowlark - may the wind beneath your wings float you to an honorable place in the world to come.
