The trademark black horn-rimmed glasses he wore and were popularized by his legion of fans, the "Rambis Youth," were gone.

I love the second photo of Ray Allen in Game Six. He's running down the court to get back on defense, all pumped up, while the Lakers bench looks on in abject horror. Kurt Rambis's face says it all.

... There are a lot of easygoing personalities on the team --Odom, Walton, Fisher, Ariza, Radmanovic, Kurt Rambis, Phil Jackson -- and I just got this sense that the team had spent Friday licking its wounds and mourning the missed opportunity, and came back Saturday refreshed. Refreshed doesn't mean happy of course. No one seemed jolly or anything. But if you think about it, the pressure...

... and at one point the 38-year-old big man took a rebound and led a 2-on-1 break before dishing to Kurt Rambis for a layup. It was quite a turnaround after he'd been held to 12 points and three boards in the 148-114 Memorial Day Massacre in Game 1. But he averaged 28.8 points over the final five games and shot 60.6 percent for the series, earning MVP honors for ending L.A.'s Gah-den...

They also interviewed Kurt Rambis, Brian Shaw, Tyrone Corbin, Dwane Casey, Jeff Bzdelik, and then they hired… Vinny Del Negro? Interviewing 174 people doesn’t make you smart, John Paxson, it makes you unfocused. When considering draft picks, please don’t give Wonderlic tests and workouts to anyone but Derrick...

Here's a little something to whet the appetite for Game 2 of the Celtics and Lakers tonight ... the sight of Kurt Rambis' Bermuda shorts really makes one wonder why NBA commissioner David Stern waited until 2005 to institute a dress code. Chuck Klosterman's been kind of ubiquitous during these NBA Finals since he wrote that famous essay about Celtic People and Laker People. You have to...

Earlier this year , Rambis, now an assistant coach with the Lakers, brought up the play when I asked him about the unwritten rules of basketball: There are things that you are not supposed to do. In the heat of the moment, those things do happen anyway, sometimes. You get your...
