    For all of those who watch the Colbert Report for last night's show Steven Colbert was drawing a comparison between John Lucas and John Edwards (both being 5'11"), but pictured was actually JLIII. I just thought that was funny, if already posted I am sorry.

    I am searching for possible YouTube video of it as we speak.

    They showed JL3 and not JL, you know JL3 is John Lucas the third? They were talking about John Lucas the former Rocket and pictured John Lucas the current Rocket.

    John Lucas Sr. is around 6'1" - 6'3".
    JL III is 5'11".

    Colbert will be vindicated in a week or two when JL3 *IS* a former Rocket.

    All people look alike to Steven. He doesn't see black and white, old and young. He just sees an American.

    He said "FORMER" Rocket so maybe he knows where JLIII is getting traded to. :)
