Since coming to Washington D.C., Rashard Lewis has handled his situation gracefully. Whereas a certain someone asked to be bought out of his contract after going from a contender to the Wizards, and a different certain someone went from the Wizards to a non-contender to get more playing time, Lewis has accepted his role with the Wizards and played through knee pain.
↵Maybe it's that same spirit that is present in this video. Lewis is stopped in a mall by a woman who appears to either be drunk, tripped out or very, very awkward. The woman tries to engage Lewis in a very important issue that affects many NBA players: who defends them best. Lewis gives a legitimate answer, with only one goofy line in there about Jesus Christ. I have to say, that's way nicer than I would have been.
↵Then again, as a professional athlete, Lewis has far more experience with weird people approaching him in public venues. Still, kudos, Rashard.
