HARLEM GLOBTROTTERS: LEGEND MEADOWLARK LEMON HAS PASSED AWAY

If you're a basketball fan, you've probably heard of the Harlem Globetrotters. The Harlem Globetrotters are a basketball team with incredibly high skill, and they use that talent to entertain basketball fans and kids around the world.

In that team, Meadowlark Lemon was one of the stars of that team many years ago... Lemon wanted to play entertainment basketball from when he was 11 years old, when he saw a team of people of African origin on TV.

The Globetrotters were founded in 1920, and Lemon is one of only 5 jerseys that have been retired.

Many people have gone on social media to remember Lemon, including Shaq and Isiah Thomas. Meadowlark Lemon was 83 years old when he passed away.

May God rest the soul of Meadowlark Lemon in a special place in heaven. Click here to get more information.
