Ty Lawson blazes to a slow start

Posted Jul 17, 2009
Former college teammate Danny Green said Ty Lawson has “one-in-a-million-type speed,’’ which actually might be selling Lawson short. If there are 300 million people in the U.S., 300 are just as quick or quicker than Lawson. If there are 6.7 billion people in the world, 6,700 are in his quickness category. Nuggets coach George Karl sure sounds as if Lawson’s speed is rarer than that. (Rocky Mountain Independent)
