Meadowlark Lemon - Harlem Globetrotter

Meadowlark Lemon - Harlem Globetrotter

Considered the “Clown of Basketball” – Legend and Hall of Famer Meadowlark Lemon has been delighting audiences for over five decades. Today, Meadowlark is an ordained minister and evangelist. Truly, a man among boys his basketball & Bible have carried him to over 150 countries bringing hope, humor and now Heaven to the masses. Since childhood, he has been one of my heroes. Even our “heroes” need Jesus and its always a treat when they become born-again believers.

It was my high honor to first meet Meadowlark Lemon in 1985 (8th grade). I was invited to play basketball for an hour with the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS before their scheduled game at the former CAPITAL CENTRE – Home of now defunct NBA team – Washington Bullets. Meeting Meadowlark then and playing ball on a NBA Court with he and Curly Neal is something I treasure today. Re-uniting with Meadowlark was a blast and I recent invited him to be a guest speaker at my home church – First Baptist Church of Accokeek in So Md. Visit www.FBCOA.org
