OT RIP MEADOWLARK LEMON

[MARIS61]

A Tip of The Cap to an American Basketball Wizard

Had the pleasure of "meeting" (getting a bucket of confetti thrown in my face) Meadowlark with my Dad a very long time ago.

I think it was in the West Linn High School gym.

Gone, but not forgotten.

A true ambassador for the sport.

He was my childhood hero and introduction to basketball greatness....interestingly enough his picture was my original avatar on this site..I mentioned in another thread that I still watch his games on youtube when it's WNBA season and never tire of it.

His internet is slow out in rural Oregon.

He joined the Trotters in 1955. I watched a game in 1963, so I guess I saw him. It was just like on TV (you never see them on TV anymore, but you did then).

He threw a bucket of water on me when I was a small child.

By the way, those Generals were sure a lousy team.
