About this title

From Library Journal:

This fast-paced autobiography traces the life of Lemon from poverty in Wilmington, N.C., to his rise as a Harlem Globetrotter and the "Clown Prince of Basketball." The book is filled with interesting anecdotes of his early childhood and life on the road as a Globetrotter. Lemon recounts how, as a child, he was in a movie theater and saw a newsreel of the Harlem Globetrotters. "I decided right then and there that is what I want to be." And behind the Meadowlark grin is some sadness. Lemon tells of his divorce, squabbles with the Globetrotters' management, and racial prejudice. The book includes an eight-page photo insert. Recommended for public libraries. Ron Chepesiuk, Winthrop Coll. Lib., Rock Hill, S.C.
