the "Clown Prince of Basketball" is gone...
I saw the Harlem Globetrotters several times as a kid...always a good show...good memories...
my father was a CPA...
be he also owned a radio station and got trade out tickets for advertising to just about every event in the Houston area...
Evil Kneevil...the Great Wallenda...Demolition Derbies...saw Ali fight in the Astrodome...Monster Truck Events...Wrestling...etc...
and of course the Harlem Globetrotters...with Meadowlark Lemon...
this guy could really tease a basketball...
the Globetrotters always put on a great show...making shots that defied reality...
Lemon was hugely talented...
him and Curly Neal put on a fantastic show...
and of course...
they never lost...
and no ref ever called travelling on them...
now I'm gonna be whistling Sweet Georgia Brown all day long..
