King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

Rush was a stud in college and actually went to high school with a bunch of my friends in Kansas City. They don't really speak too highly of him, but I attribute that to him being the star jock at their school and receiving all the attention and accolades and ego that comes with that. At any rate, the second year Laker guard came up HUGE last night, hitting 6-6 of from 3 point land. Big time effort from the role player managed to push LA back into the finals (gee, what a surprise). The game last night would've been in serious doubt if not for him given that Shaq was in serious foul trouble. But as it turned out, Rush hit some clutch shots and Minnesota couldn't stop turning over the ball. Now we're only 4 wins away from a 4th crown in 5 years. That's dominance. It won't matter who comes out of the East, Detroit or Indiana, I like the Lakers in 5 if they're focused. 6 games if they're not. Karl Malone and Gary Payton are finally getting their rings. Consider me a happy Laker fan.
