TIME OF THE SEASON APPROACHES
Major League Baseball has whittled down to 4 teams. The NFL is nearing midseason. The NBA LAKERS , and things have never looked better.
Despite having 3 players in recovery from surgery, the most important of whom, in serious pain after his first 20 minutes of play this season, the LAKERS could easily have a better year than the previous 2 championship years. The reason for the optimism is the impressive depth on the 2001-2001 squad, particularly at shooting guard. Management feels so good about the prospects that it cut DENNIS SCOTT Tuesday. SCOTT was recently signed to try out for the team, after being out of basketball for a couple of years. He was a 3-point shooter deluxe for the ORLANDO MAGIC (he holds the game and season records for 3-pointers!), and is one of best friends. So for the LAKERS to say goodbye Mr. SCOTT , several weeks earlier than necessary, one would presume the shooting skills are locked and stocked.
And indeed they are. KOBE LINDSEY HUNTER , is shooting just as well. And he is quick as a firefly. The | |
