Meadowlark Lemon

Meadowlark Lemon is universally known as "The Clown Prince of Basketball". The name is unforgettable and the face is instantly recognizable. He played for 24 seasons, which encompassed more than 7,500 consecutive games, with the world-renowned Harlem Globetrotters. His skills have allowed him to play before popes, kings, queens and presidents in more than 94 countries and more than 1,500 North American cities. Laughter followed him everywhere as he performed his "No-look, wrap-around pass" for an easy slam dunk, his hook-shots from half court which inevitably ended with a "swoosh" through the netting, and for his ability to turn a hapless referee into a foil for his wit.

After leaving the Globetrotters in 1979, Meadowlark went on to appear in feature films, made many television appearances and numerous television commercials. He also recorded an album titled "My Kids" for RCA and Casablanca Records.

In the year 2000, Meadowlark was honour by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with the John W. Bunn Award. This award recognizes outstanding lifetime contributions to basketball. It is the highest honour, outside of enshrinement, which can be bestowed upon an individual.

Audiences of all ages have heard of the legendary Meadowlark Lemon and love to meet him and hear him speak. Corporations learn from Meadowlark about teamwork, leadership and the ability to laugh. Additionally, Meadowlark enjoys speaking and working with children, Native North Americans, and athletic groups. He works with youngsters in inner city gangs, prison and drug programs. And he speaks passionately with church groups. Christian groups will note that Meadowlark Lemon is now an ordained minister. He owns and hosts the Meadowlark Lemon Show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
