Mark Madsen drives to the hoop and skies(?) for a graceful(?) dunk(?). The crowd goes wild! Every year, the LA Lakers (Lakers official website) play their first pre-season game in Bakersfield. The stadium is not that big so the seats were pretty good.

The game was close 99-99 with 25 seconds left. But, in the end the Clippers won. It was a tough start to a season that had a tough end.

Mark Madsen always gives a heroic effort which makes him a crowd favorite. Inspirational playing - go Mark!
