Default RIP Meadowlark Lemon

Someone who added so much to every life he touched.

There will never be another like him.

I still remember his hook shot from the upper level of the Omni. I can't remember if it went in or not lol. It was so preposterous it didn't even matter.

While the purists may love fundamentals above all else, there's something about the game that makes it incredibly conducive to showmanship, and Meadowlark was the ultimate showman.

I will always remember 'the weave' offense while 'Sweet Georgia Brown' played.

After getting attention to his arm on a hard foul, 'Meadow' cried out 'It's my leg!'

...and the 'artistry' of his own 'Deflate-Gate' at the foul line.

...and confetti providing more laughs when water was expected.


...and for so very much more...Thank You Meadowlark!
