I found extremely interesting facts about this famous basketball player on Wikipedia, here is a part of it.

‘Meadow Lemon III^[1] (April 25, 1932 – December 27, 2015),^[2] known professionally as Meadowlark Lemon, was an American basketball player, actor, and Christian minister (ordained in 1986). Beginning in 1994, he ran Meadowlark Lemon Ministries in Scottsdale, Arizona.^[3][4] For 22 years, he was known as the “Clown Prince” of the touring Harlem Globetrotters basketball team.^[5] He played in more than 16,000 games for the Globetrotters and was a 2003 inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

When basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain was asked his opinion on the best player of all time, he responded, “For me it would be Meadowlark Lemon.”^[6] Fellow Wilmington great Michael Jordan called Lemon a “true national treasure” and a personal inspiration in Jordan’s youth.^[3]’
