Kurt Rambis has "verbally" signed a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves for $8 million over 4 years. Sorry to see him go from the Lakers, but he knew that there was no way he'd be head coach as long as Phil Jackson was around. He'll always be a Laker to me...Goofy Rambis with hornrimmed glasses and great defensive skills.With all the controversy about who the "Superman" moniker belongs to--Shaq or Dwight Howard, did you know that Chick Hearn dubbed Rambis "Superman" way before either of these two? That right...he looked just like Superman...when he was his alter ego Clark Kent.
He was always a scrappy underdog, someone that may not have been as talented as the superstars but one who tried twice as hard...and who can forget the toughness that Rambis exhibited after the Kevin McHale clothesline in the playoffs with the Celtics?
