The inexperience of Quincy Lewis and Scott Padgett may have cost them a win.
Lewis missed three shots down the stretch and Padgett interfered with a potential tying 3-pointer by Stockton as the Jazz let a big opportunity slip away in an 89-86 loss to the top-seeded Sacramento Kings.
Instead of waiting to see if the shot dropped, Padgett tried to hammer in the rebound and was called for offensive goaltending in the final second.

 melaniefletcher.com :: Lewis Carroll
Considering that he died years before the term "science fiction" was even coined, Lewis Carroll (aka the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) enjoys a unique place, both as inspiration and participant, in the genre of science fiction.
From the fantastical whimsy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to the mirror-image world of Alice through the Looking Glass, Carroll's stories are a mix of mathematical logic and lyrical nonsense that appeal just as strongly to scientists, engineers, and science fiction writers of today as they did to their original audience in Victorian England.
Writers such as Jeff Noon, John Crowley and Lewis Padgett have created their own versions of Wonderland and Looking Glass House, extrapolating the originals into new and fantastic tangents.

 MathFiction: Mimsy Were the Borogoves (Lewis Padgett (aka Henry Kuttner and Catherine L. Moore))
Far in the future, humans have not only improved their digestive tracts (eliminating the appendix and shortening their large intestine), they have not only invented a time machine, but they have also invented educational toys which guide their children to learn abstract mathematics (non-Euclidean geometries and algebras in which 2+2 is not four).
The title of the story, of course, is taken from Lewis Carroll's "Jaberwocky".
According to this story, it was actually written by Alice herself and is not just a poem but a mathematical formula with which one can travel to bizarre alternate realities.

 "Mimsy Were the Borogoves"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The stories Kuttner and Moore wrote under the Padgett pseudonym were mostly Kuttner's.
The story is important for its status as a transition work that enlarges the subject matter of science fiction to the perception of transcendent, not-rational consciousness.
The story's title comes from the third line of the poem "Jabberwocky" which appears in the novel Through the Looking Glass which was published in 1871 by Charles L. Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.

A name in parentheses after a word or phrase to be defined is the originator of the term, or of its use in fandom; where this is followed by a colon and a second name, the second is the person who had most to do with making it a part of fandom's vocabulary.
For example, "Blowup" as the name of a civilization- destroying cataclysm comes from Lewis Padgett's Baldy Series, but the name was given greatest prominence by the Michifen with reference to the infamous bombing incident which had an analogous effect on the MSFS.
It should be remarked, however, that fans make many allusions to material in prozines, fanzines, and other places, which no possible reference work could cover; and that fanzine-publishing fandom has inevitably received a disproportionate amount of notice, simply because it is the only moiety of our tribe that leaves permanent records.

 Mimsy Were the Borogroves by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore
In the late 1940s at the height of the Golden Age, the fans attending a world science fiction convention voted for Henry Kuttner over Asimov, Heinlein, Sturgeon, Van Vogt, and all the others as the world's best science fiction writer.
By that time it was an open secret that Kuttner (and his pseudonyms, Lewis Padgett and Laurence O'Donnell) was three of the most popular living sf writers.
Their collaborative works (all their stories under whatever byline were jointly created -- the Padgett name was used for stories that were more strongly Kuttner's) set the highest standard of literary quality in science fiction of the 1940s.
