This guy is playing in the NBA Finals right now

Three years ago, I attended a Houston Rockets fan appreciation event during which I met Jeff Van Gundy (then coach, now commentator) and Rafer Alston, a.k.a. Skip to My Lou.

A few months ago, the Rockets made a brilliant move and traded Rafer for some benchwarmer. Rafer got the last word, though, because his Orlando Magic are in the Finals. And Rafer is having a great game 3.

I can say, "I knew him when..."
