I've seen the later versions of Globe trotters but never him live, I remember watching him on TV though (probably Wide World of Sports) and he sure was entertaining

RIP Meadow Lark

"The Crown Prince of Basketball"

Played in 16,000 career basketball games.

To put that into perspective, you would have to play 160 games a year for 100 years.

Was lucky enough to see him play once in the late 1970's.
