I was so sad to read of the death of Meadowlark Lemon. When I was growing up it was always a great treat when the Harlem Globetrotters were on TV. I couldn't believe these greats and what they could do with a basketball. Watching 'Curly' (bald of course) dribble was something you wanted to copy in the playground. But the hero was always the mouthy main man, Meadowlark Lemon, the scourge of the referee with top heavy basketballs, or balls that didn't bounce. Just thinking of him brings a grin onto my face, as did this clip of some of his tricks.
RIP you great sporting comedy genius.
