Get ‘r done, Russ.

Ryan Jones says:
Git ‘r done, I meant. My bad.

TADOne says:
I’m patiently waiting for this. I hope Russ has grown some hair on his head.

Sam Rubenstein says:

albie1kenobi says:
bodie looked like a prophet here. he couldn’t have known about the gasol trade could he???
and technically, 50-plus wins means the bet is for 51 wins at least right? so wouldn’t we have to wait until after Lakers’ friday night win over the grizz?

Mar.26 at 2:41 pm

TADOne says:
Albie: Either way, its going to happen.

Mar.26 at 2:46 pm

Kevin says:
haha, this’ll be interesting..

Mar.26 at 2:50 pm

albie1kenobi says:
TAD: indeed. btw, are we supposed to laugh really really hard when we see Russ’ stars? that’s going to be a historic and glorious day in SLAM history. the picture MUST make it onto the mag right?

Eboy says:
Bodie was good with his Lakers pick, not too good with the others. Myles needs to enforce this, for sure. Is there a limit to the number of stars?

Mar.26 at 3:00 pm

TADOne says:
Guess that would depend on the amount of hair Russ has.

Benny The Jet Rodriguez says:
Wawaweewa! I don’t even know what Russ looks like.

Mar.26 at 3:18 pm

albie1kenobi says:
i’d say keep it classy like the 3 stars on SLAM.
we can always request more stars for each additional Lakers win afterward right?

Russ Bengtson says:
I’ve already got it arranged, no specific time when, though. Three stars sounds good to me. And incidentally, I’ve been planning to do this all along. I don’t back out of things. (Although I’ll be tempted to send the clippings to Chris Wallace.)

Mar.26 at 4:05 pm

The Last Kings Fan says:
Can Russ get the three stars and then leave hair to have 119 or whatever number SLAM you guys haven’t finished the cover for and you put that somewhere, if not on the cover than in the 6th Man somewhere? Maybe I’m crazy, but that’s my suggestion.

Lang Whitaker says:
Could be SLAM Ups…

Mar.26 at 4:26 pm

Jukai says:
Haha, yes! Russ on the cover!

Mar.26 at 4:28 pm

Ron says:
I like Albie’s idea of starting with the 3 stars, then adding more as the Lakers win more games, Sort of like Ohio State adding buckeyes to the players helmets for outstanding play.

Mar.26 at 4:34 pm

TADOne says:
You could at the bottom of The 6th Man as the Off The Bench feature…

Mar.26 at 4:42 pm

TADOne says:
* You could PUT IT

thesubwayconnection says:
Too funny. . . If Lamar still had his, I’d get SLAM to send Russ to LA just to get his photo taken with Lamar.

TADOne says:
The Slam jinx is on Kobe.

Ryan Jones says:
Russ, I have the PERFECT solution: Remember the story we heard about your man flying overseas (China, I think?) on a shoe company trip back in the day, and he flew his barber over there with him, and then he got mad at the dude for some reason and told him to f*ck off and find his own way home back to L.A.? From China? THAT’s who you should get to cut your hair.

Mar.27 at 9:40 am

Ryan Jones says:
Allegedly
