Most important toe in tourney history belongs to UNC's Lawson

Posted Mar 19, 2009
Ty Lawson's big right toe entered the locker room, hardly a limp, and rested just below the rest of Lawson's body, surrounded by dozens of reporters, all of whom were anxious to know how it felt and whether it could, you know, sufficiently handle a fast break. The toe was in a black sock. Inside a black boot. At the center of the college basketball world. "There is no story about a toe that I have heard more about than this one," said North Carolina point guard Bobby Frasor, otherwise known as the lone experienced and capable UNC point guard with 10 good toes. "The only one was maybe -- What's that movie? -- The Big Lebowski." (CBS Sports)
