Yinka Dare: "Jay-son, what does the "C" on Christian Laettner's jersey stand for?" Jayson Williams: "Yinka, what do you think the "C" stands for?" Yinka Dare: "Caucasian?"
Lyde, who is synonymous with the Utah Jazz whether Jazz fans like it or not, is in Germany. Playing for Bremerhaven, Lyde averages 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 2.7 fouls per game, shooting 57% from the field and 59% from the foul line. The Jazz didn't sign him this year, but they did inevitably allow him a spot on their summer league roster. That marked their third anniversary together. It's a beautiful thing.
If you were wondering, Lyde is one of 9 Americans on the Bremerhaven roster. That's just how those guys roll.
