At the Jazz and Laker game, I realized there was something noticeably absent from the rafters. No, not the name of a waste management company, we have one of those. It was Adrian Dantley's retired jersey.

There is no 'i' in 'team', the saying goes.

It was a fib, a little one. One of those fibs of omission. Barely even a fib, really.
