Mary Cooper: Back home, there’s a girl works at the Wal-Mart. Tall, taaaaall girl. Woman could hunt geese with a rake.
Thought she’d never find a man, but one day, wouldn’t you know, Harlem Globetrotters come to town. Long story short, today that woman travels the world with a semi-professional basketball player and two beautiful mixed race babies.

That their talents, skills and abilities could make most NBA players look small.

The year Lemon joined the Globetrotterss the Celtics has a total payroll of less than $100,000. He probably made more money than a lot of NBA players at that time. Chamberlain played for them for 1 year and went from $50,000 to $30,000 when he joined the NBA.

What a classy gentleman, on and off the court. RIP Meadowlark Lemon

[Jane Long]

Indeed. Surely Mr Lemon is RIP, as he died two years ago.

[Fightin Whitey]

Well, you know, it takes a while to settle in.

[Mears]

I saw him in the late 50s in the old Boston Garden

Classy guys.
