The athlete was forever immortalized in the animated Saturday morning TV show Harlem Globe Trotters , which debuted in the 70s. Globetrotters spokesman Brett Meister said Lemon’s wife and daughter confirmed to the team that he died in Scottsdale, Ariz.

It was very humiliating for me, but also for the whole country and for all the people, not only (those) from Colombia, but the other Latinos that were in the auditorium.
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez thinks splitting the title is a great idea, though. Gutierrez was accidentally named the victor in Las Vegas earlier this month after host Steve Harvey misread his cue cards.
“I thought it was a joke”, she said.
Still, Miss Gutierrez stressed that she was looking on the bright side.
While we can probably think of greater and more devastating injustices in the world, it’s hard not to feel bad for and empathize with Gutierrez, who described the incident as a “great shock” that devastated her longtime dream: “I have always dreamed of this, of being Miss Universe…”

On the other hand, Gutierrez has had enough time to grieve over her loss and she is optimistic about the future as there have been a good number of job opportunities offered to her. She also said she has been offered a job in the United States, which is a good start as she moves on from the humiliating experience. “I understand. It was his first time to judge a pageant, but it’s OK”.
