What was Mark Madsen thinking?
Page 2 staff
The rhythm has got Mark Madsen once again.
What the heck was Mark Madsen thinking during his dance at the Lakers' victory celebration? A. "Hey, if it helps me keep a roster spot and get a ring every year, I'll do the damn Riverdance if they want me to."
B. "I gotta force a trade to the Grizzlies or Bulls. I can't stand one more summer of this humiliation."
C. "After spending $8,000 and 11 months in dance school, I finally get a second chance."
D. "You try keeping a rhythm when some 7-foot moron keeps screaming, 'Can you dig it,' in the background."
E. "What the heck does 'bling bling' mean?"
F. "I was smart enough to get into Stanford. I was a college All-American. I played in the freakin' Final Four. But I'll forever be known as the second coming of Elaine Benes."
