Talk:Meadowlark Lemon

message: The article says he was on the Globetrotters for 25 years. It also says he played more than 16000 games for the Globetrotters. Something doesn't add up. That's more than 640 games a year! 185.120.125.20 (talk) 14:25, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

message: It's certainly possible, but to play 16,000 at the rate of one game a day, he'd have had to play every day for almost 44 years.  Can this number (16,000) be verified?71.175.227.230 (talk) 20:29, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It hardly seems likely. Playing every day for 22 years is only 8030 games or so. Let me add that this guy was not only a great basketball player, but a superb comedian. He invented, I believe, the rubber-band basketball that returned to the person who threw it and a lot of other hilarious and classic gags. I watched the Globetrotters on TV when I was young and it was always funny to see him play a trick on the opposing team or the referee. Of course, the other team would get to take a free throw, but that never mattered; the Globetrotters always won.  173.174.85.204 (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  While I don't have the info with me, I'd like to bring up the possibility that The Globetrotters played more than one game a day... In fact, I can recall reading that they would put on shows in more than one city in a day. When I saw the new globetrotters, they had 2 shows, an earlier viewing and a later one. I can imagine in the earlier days, they had to in order to cover expenses. Its not like a pro league, it's set up like a traveling show. He also didn't always play on the globetrotters. Basically I'm saying that I can believe it. Persistent Corvid (talk) 03:13, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Number of games played

message: I watched through the linked YouTube video of The First National Kidisk, and didn't notice Lemon. It's possible he appears in one of the slideshow segments? His name didn't appear in the credits, either. The cited sources for the claim that Lemon appears on the recording don't mention Lemon at all. I suggest removing the claim Lemon appeared in the recording.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.166.215 (talk) 05:22, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

message: I remember regularly seeing Meadowlark Lemon in the TV listings when I was a teenager in the 1990s, but I don't see any listing of a solo show on the page.  I never actually watched it.  It was on a low power station.  Perhaps it was a religious btroadcast.  I don't really know. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 20:41, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
