Cedric Ceballos and the Los Angeles Lakers had their fans honking car horns out on Manchester Avenue by the Great Western Forum once again. In 1994-95, the team experienced a resurgence that is sure to keep them contending for an NBA Championship for the next several years. The acquisition of Ceballos proved to be one of the biggest reasons for the team's 15-game turnaround from 1993-94. Named as a reserve to the Western Conference squad for the 1995 NBA All-Star Game, Ceballos became only the seventh player in Lakers history to score 50 points in a single game (50, vs. Minn. on Dec. 20, 1994).

Brewer adds that he also reads passers' eyes "like a cornerback does with a quarterback."
