<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">EXCEPT for a select few, an obscure magical moment in NBA history whizzed by Sunday afternoon in Toronto without detection or reflection, lost in the glare of a rare victory celebration at the Lakers' expense. Jalen Rose, ironically saluted yesterday as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for leading the Raptors to a 3-0 mark, surpassed his father, Jimmy Walker, on the league's all-time regular season scoring list. Knowing 10 points were needed to exceed dear old (interminably estranged) dad, he responded for a team-high 26, bumping his total to 11,671 points, 16 more than the 1967 pick of the draft litter, a regal representative of the Pistons, Rockets and Kings over a 10-year span. I asked Rose by e-mail what was going through his mind during that precise head-trip past Walker. "I was thinking that it's a blessing to be a great NBA father/son combo," he said. </div> Source
