The Divine Presence tapping Los Angeles Laker shooting guard Ron Artiste as he spun....crashing the boards....swishing a buzzer beater... the 5th game of the NBA Western playoffs

The Saint Johns campus, the Jamaica Estates Hollis Forest Hills Queensboro Community College .. the denizens were all a buzz with his winning shot as the intrepid “Johnny” ...his upper body strength (one for eight on his “j”) his infamous will power and upper body strength inciting the hysteria ... his alter egos guarded at the perimeter... double teamed “down town”“ ..those strong hands putting back the Koby Bryant miss at the horn.

Was this ex Red Stormer airing his life to the Phoenix Suns and their second team off the bench...sharpshooters from downtown led by Steve Nash’s higher soccer intelligence...against Phil Jackson’s triangle.
A bew coach named Alvin Gentry....big energy from Brazil’s “Leandrrinho” Barboso.......downtown three’s from Arizona’s Channing Frye.......his mates off the pines..
Say a prayer for coachGenrty and the Phoenix tempo as they run the open floor, the Suns” hoping to find their rhythm and themselves
Coney Island’s Luna Park reopening (1944)......May 29,2010
