And the city of hellacious traffic. Here's the gist: Paris is not a city where it's easy to drive around. And with this being Fashion Week, the streets are even more jammed than usual. Which is why Indiana coach Rick Carlisle, from his front seat on the team bus to the arena Thursday, may have been hanging on for dear life.
