Madsen was my biggest basketball enemy when I was at Cal. Then his arm-flailing dance made him a Laker fan icon, a seemingly average guy living our greatest dream. But the truth, of course, is that he has an intelligent basketball mind and is a kind-hearted, even-keeled, hard-working person who is beloved wherever he goes.

I did not think it possible to feel this much hope after last year but it's tangible and justifiable. I hope he creates something special at Cal and stays to maintain it. I won't dwell on that hypothetical day after years of success when the NBA comes calling. Today is about the untapped potential of dreams, not lamenting the cost of achieving them.

Go Bears!
