Rufus has had legal trouble, plays craps in the back alleys, hangs out on the street corner, has a wooden leg and an eye patch. He's like a ghetto basketball pirate.

Hopefully Cirrus Cloudwalker will regale us with more of his legend soon.
I think Cloud developed the mythical Rufus Henry character back in the 04/05 season when Joe was auditioning back-up point guards every other week (Horace Jenkins, Smush Parker, etc...).

We all kinda ran with it and added to the Myth of Rufus.

DA RUFUS - ON FIRE!!!
