I never met basketball legend Meadowlark Lemon, but I was always a huge fan! I was completely blown away by the Harlem Globetrotters \u2013 \u2013 especially Meadowlark Lemon! They were completely awe-inspiring and unique in every way. And he was at the forefront of the whole thing! He always seemed like he loved what he was doing. He was a fantastic athlete and an amazing comedian. There was never anyone even remotely like him, ever \u2013 \u2013 and there never will be again! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rest in peace, sir. Thanks for all the entertainment, laughter and inspiration. —Pee-wee Herman<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
