NBA Fans Unite!

Well, this has seemed like a mighty long summer
has it not? With the June 30th NBA lockout.
Anyway, from other sources we find our former
coach, Phil Jackson, came out of retirement
long enough to speak on behalf of one of his
former players from when he used to coach in
Chicago. That flamboyant fella: Dennis Rodman.
Members of the 2011 Basketball Hall of Fame
were all eyes front and center to see and to
hear Dennis speak. Five time champion showed
he can still play role of entertainer on the
Eve of his induction. Dennis humorously
thanked NBA Commissioner David Stern "to have
me even in the building". "This game has been
awfully good to me" he stated, with a 14 year
career, including a brief stint with our Lakers.
He had been escorted up to the stage with Phil
Jackson there waiting to give his presentation.
Choking up often, Dennis accepted his day in the
sun being enshrined in the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame. Lakers owner, Jerry Buss
was amongst the celebs offering their applause
as well. The evening was an emotional one for the
5 time champion. Now we all look forward to the
fall season for NBA Lakers games. What is most
unusual to consider for me is this "NBA owners
locked out the players...right? And now the owners
have filed an unfair-labor practices suit against
the players? Got it? Wish I did"
