Didn't know Rolo had one. First time I've seen one like that.

I think he used it in all games last year

story i heard was at the dedication of a major piece of artwork in the locker room, one of the guest donors wore the koa link lei a metaphor of linking the warriors together. some in attendance donated to have a similar lei made for rolo. when rolo left he took his. donors sponsored another koa link lei for graham.

Thanks. I never noticed it on Rolo. I guess he always had other leis on too, so it got hidden.

looks like a lot of work is put into each lei. afraid to ask, but, do you know what the price of a lei would be?

it took 15 well heeled donors to sponsor the lei for graham, i'm afraid it's out of my league. i was only interested in the cost of the lei.

Like most Koa bowls, pieces of art, etc, this one comes with a price. . Let's just say it is a bit more than a few $100 chips at the casino.
