RIP, Meadowlark Lemon
As a kid, I once was plucked out of a crowd to 'play' basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters (@Globies) in the center of Willowbrook Mall in Caldwell, NJ. If my memory serves me correctly, one of the Globetrotters assisted me on an awesome dunk.
Meadowlark Lemon handed me the ball, picked me up and I put the ball in the hoop to end an awesome play.
It's Mr. Lemon I credit, to this day, for my lack of authentic basketball skills in my otherwise sports machine-like 5'5" frame.
Thank you, Meadowlark. You will be missed!
