“General” Lee Holman, a former member of the Harlem Globetrotters, passed away, according to his wife.
He was 61 years old, and he reportedly died on Christmas Day.
Holman played with the Globetrotters from 1976 to 1982 and was described by his wife as a “gentle giant who had a presence on the court but was quiet in his personal life.”
Holman is the second member of the Globetrotters to have died over the past few days, having passed away within two days of Meadowlark Lemon.
A visitation service will be held for Holman at the Bostick-Thompkins Funeral Home on Colonial Drive.
