Rex Chapman is in the news after tweeting last night that "Cal 2 La-La-Land 2 coach Mamba's Lakers" is a "#DoneDeal." To translate, he tweeted that a deal was in the works for Kentucky coach John Calipari to take over as coach of the Lakers next season. Everyone involved denies the accuracy of his tweet, but it was nice to see the former Slam Dunk (almost) champion back in the news. In fact, it inspired me to look through the SI Vault for this photo tribute to Chapman
