Top 8 Lawrence Hill Headlines/Comments

8. After a Law puts up 15 and 9, keying a Stanford win over Oregon St, The Daily headline reads "Stanford's Law Schools the Beavers."

7. After blocking a career high 7 shots against the University of California, East Bay pro am team, a caption to a Law Hill block reads, "AJ Diggs can't escape the long arms of the Law."

6. Cal coach Ben Braun, during a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Cardinal, shakes his head on the bench asking himself, "how can we keep getting rejected by Stanford Law?" Ryan Anderson, ofcourse, has the answer, "we're Cal students coach, we're used to it." (ZING!!!)

5. In the preview for the first round of the 2008 NCAA tourney, one magazine, analyzing the #15 Vermont vs. #2 Stanford game asks, "can the Hilltoppers top Hill?"

4. After Stanford wins it's 6th straight Pac 10 game to close the 2006-07 season, the San Francisco Chronicle publishes a picture of an excited Law Hill. The caption? "Cardinal Law."

3. After getting bumped around by the Lopez twins, and dunked on by Lawrence Hill for an entire 40 minutes, Glen "Big Baby" Davis, the star of the #3 seed LSU Tigers finally concedes to reporters, "I fought the Law, and the law won."

2. After averaging a triple double his senior year, Lawrence Hill becomes the #1 overall draft pick in the NBA draft. The next day, US News reports "Stanford's Law Rated #1."

1. During the 2006-07 season, Hill drops 32 and 13 as the Cardinal visit Pauley and upset the #1 ranked Bruins - reclaiming Pauley as Maples south, and restoring Stanford's dominance of UCLA's home court. The headline on ESPN 15 minutes after the game reads, "LA Law." ... Ok it probably reads "Cardinal Rules" ... but seriously guys, we're tired of that one. Try "LA Law" ... please?

you're forgetting when Law is in the NBA. On opening night, after putting up 25 on the Bulls, the next day's Tribune caption shows a picture of Luol Deng getting rejected by this ridiculous rookie: "The Englishman who went up a Hill and got his ass kicked."
