know this might put me out there, but I thought what he did friday for that little girl was the best moment of the playoffs thus far.


If you didn't see it, a 13 year old girl started singing the national anthem and then, about halfway in, she went blank. She kind of gazed around with that same incredulous expression that the Trailblazerz have when they'rer high. Then Mr. Cheeks came strolling into the picture. He put his right arm around the girl and started singing, loudly, while using his right arm to alternately motion for the crowd to join in and to kind of punctuate certain words and phrases, like it was American Idol. What really made it cool was that Cheeks apparently sings about as well as Carl Lewis, but he kept blasting away.


As they brought it home, singing "...and the home of the brave!" the girl leaned into Cheeks and said, gratefully, "Thank you!" Cheeks hugged her quickly and then turned and walked back to bench, cool as hell, as though the whole thing was planned and he was just doing his part.
