High as hell...
Thank god the Kings aren't the only team in the league that hangs a Division Championship banner....
CHEA!
GOOD WIN.
On a side note...it was definitely unfortunate to see Dikembe go down like that. Right when it happened, I immediately turned to Ira and said, "Damn, I really hope this isn't it for him."
Sure enough, Dikembe met with reporters after the game and confirmed our worst fear, saying, "For me, basketball is over."
It's one thing to look at his accomplishments as one of the best defensive players of all time, but he was a man of even more honor off the court and his charitable work is unmatched. I've been searching endlessly through my hard drives for a piece I did on Mutombo while in school for an assignment on 'The Most Impressive Person You Know Of,' as his stories, quotes and contributions are inspiring to all.
I really hope this isn't it Big Guy, and I never wanted to say I saw his last game this way, but much respect to a great player and person.
