SB Dons Jamaal Wilkes

SB Dons Jamaal Wilkes 

Congrats to Jamaal Wilkes who is having his Laker jersey # 52 retired on Friday at Staples. "Silk" won 4 NBA titles and 2 NCAA titles while at UCLA. A few years back the late John Wooden was the guest speaker as his Dons jersey was retired. He joins an elite list of retired LA Laker jerseys.

Couldn't happen to a better player nor a classier guy.
One of the truly great Lakers.
Way to go Silk. biggrin
It's not whether you win or lose but what you learn as a member of your team that really matters.

Yes, he was at VHS before SB. He also had future laker Don Ford on his team which won 26 straight before losing in the semis. It is pretty safe to say we will probably never see two future nba players on one hs team from our area for a while. Julyan Stone (nuggets, dos pueblos) is the only current player in the league from the 805 area. Congrats to Jamaal Wilkes who was clearly lost for words during the ceremony last night.
