I used to really enjoy watching those guys. R.I.P., Meadowlark.

Very sad — he made many people happy.

Prayers for the family.

At 83 he lived a good life and made people, including me, laugh! RIP

Imagine the life of travelling all over the world performing tricks before adoring fans while knowing each day your team was going to win.

They did a lot of good work for racial tolerance without doing protests or being victims.

Meadow Lemon III. Interesting man with an interesting life. Basketball Hall of Fame, too! No small part of American 20th Century cultural history.

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.

He did so much to unite the races. Then Obammie came along and screwed it all up with his hatred.

RIP Mr. Lemon. You done good! You will be missed.

Meadowlark Lemon, one of the great entertainers for the ‘Boomer generation. I got to see him and Curly Neal play. I wonder if the Generals ever took a game from the Globetrotters-

Brought joy and laughter. RIP.
