My favorite Meadowlark Lemon story: I saw him play a celebrity golf tournament on TV back in the '70s. He was one easy putt away from winning the match and flubbed it. Flubbed the second try too. Flubbed the third try as well.
Done for the game he picked up his ball, walked away from the cup and gave it an over-the-shoulder hook shot. Sunk it.
Meadowlark Lemon, whose halfcourt hook shots, no-look behind-the-back passes and vivid clowning were marquee features of the feel-good traveling basketball show known as the Harlem Globetrotters for nearly a quarter-century, died on Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 83.
His death was confirmed by his wife, Cynthia Lemon, who did not specify the cause.

Yamamoto was a genius engineer who helped Mazda become what it is today. A sad day for car buffs and lovers of interesting engineering designs.
My Dad idolized this guy. And I just bought one of the new Mazda 3s, with the SkyActive engine. My Dad gave me an entire lecture about the development of that engine, as well as the Miatas.
Saw him play a half a dozen years back...just him and an acoustic guitar. Great performer/story teller. Remember him discussing his rise to "stardom" when he was a garbageman in Jersey.
In 2000, he branched into politics in an unsuccessful Reform Party campaign for a New Jersey seat in the U.S. Senate. The following year, he began a stint as the host of an XM Radio station devoted to unsigned talent. He appeared on ESPN’s “7th Inning Stretch,” a reality show that followed his attempt to join a minor league New Jersey baseball team, in 2006.
