By the way the place I heard it from also quoted Wilt Chamberlain as saying Meadowlark Lemon was the most talented basketball player he had ever seen.

I saw the HG's in a high school gym back in 1970's. I still remember Meadowlark and Curly Neal vividly. Those Washington Generals never got a break!

My memories of Lemon go back to my childhood as well. I was five or six when he started with the Globetrotters.

I got to see him in the mid 70's. I was 8 I think. My father was thrilled to see him because he had seen him play in the early 60's. Thanks for sharing.

Watched him many times on TV and a few times live. He was the Harlem Globetrotters IMO
