    The Clown Prince of Basketball. I got to see him a few times and watched the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon religiously every Saturday morning. A sad day for basketball, but also one for celebration.

    They were so much fun, I'm not sure people who didn't grow up in a certain time can really appreciate just how cool he/they were.

    I can't remember how they get stuck on Gilligan's Island?

    He gave me a signed basketball at a Bible camp like 20 years ago. That sucks.

    If you were a kid growing up in the 70's, he was automatically your hero.
