    Anyone else noticing how a Big West guy is playing very well for the Miami Heat. If they win an NBA title, will he be the first former Big West player to get a ring? I don't think so. Remember that UNLV was once in the Big West. I can't believe that someone on that team wasn't on an NBA champ, but I haven't done the research.

    Having done a little research, I also found out that Bob Gross was a player for the Beach before winning a title with the Portland Trailblazers. Another former previously 49er was Craig Hodges who rode the bench behind Jordan. et al. Plus Scott Brooks was at UCI and won an NBA championship with Houston in 1998. There are probably more going back to when the Big West was the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference and had the likes of San Diego State, Pacific and Nevada as well as UNLV.

    In case you missed it, Gabe Vincent lead Miami to a game 3 blowout of the Celtics by not only starting at point guard, but leading the Heat with 29 points. He made 6 of 9 treys, grabbed 2 rebounds and made 3 assists. Not bad for an undrafted Gaucho, who is very likely going to be in the NBA finals.

    TV folks have to be cringing as the chances of a Celtics vs Lakers finals are rapidly going down the drain.

    No Lakers, no Celtics, but a former Big West player in the NBA Finals!
