Boys' basketball: Sidney show ends

July 25, 2008 |  2:23 pm

To paraphrase Tom Cruise in "Cocktail," nothing ends nicely or it wouldn't end.

That certainly applies to Renardo Sidney and the L.A. Dream Team, whose all-too-short stay in Las Vegas ended today with a 65-61 loss to Maryland-based WPC Elite.

Sidney, it seemed we hardly got to know ye. And the little we did wasn't flattering. The 6-foot-9 L.A. Fairfax High star started the Reebok Summer Championships by complaining about officiating and the way he was defended during his team's opening-game loss. He then proceeded to lumber up and down the court the following few days while turning in mostly uninspired performances.

He showed up today, scoring 20 points, but it wasn't enough for the Dream Team, which squandered a seven-point halftime lead.

The Dream Team finished the tournament winning three games and losing two, hardly a memorable showing.

--Ben Bolch
