R.I.P. Meadowlark Lemon
 

The master of the half-court hook shot and Clown Prince of the Basketball, Meadowlark Lemon passed away last night. There was no given cause of the 83 year old's passing. He is the most recognizable name of the Harlem Globetrotters brand to this day and 2003 inductee into the NBA Hall of Fame. He is known to generation of Scooby Doo fans through his team up with Scooby and gang along with his teammates such as Curly which followed up a short-lived animated series that Hanna-Barberra produced from 1970-1972. He also appeared on the final part of the Gilligan's Island reunion specials appropriately titled The Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island. Voice actors preformed their animated counterparts. Sad to see the unique basketball legend pass on.
