Show By Tricia Call Sports fan extraordinaire When was in kindergarten. Mrs. I iorgesheimer took our k class on an autumn field trip - a trip through red and golden maples to the corner store. She paired us up into buddy-team- s. In the warm afternoon air, wasps buzzed menacingly over our heads. Mrs. ! Iorgesheimer told us to stand quietly. Of course, my luck had me paired with the one kid in the class who would not, or could not, do as he was told. Guess who got stung six times? Not Mr. Hyperactive-Defiant- ! Two weeks ago the Jazz attempted to acquire a reported talented center from Orlando. In a radio interview after the deal fell through, the players explanation for not showing up in Salt Lake City was as lame as I have ever heard. He even used the word conspiracy to explain that once the Jazz learned of his injury, it was the Jazz, and not him, w ho forced the deal to fold. I don't think the Jazz stopped him from taking a cab to the airport, catching a flight to Salt Lake and showing up in good faith, as the conditions of the deal required. Its apparent to me that he got stuck in his own poker-gam- e play for more money and more favorable terms for him. I have heard lock-orumblings about an owner-initiate- d at in about time. the For first time play-ocareer as coming my a sports fan, I find myself siding with the owners of the professional sports organizations, lasers are demanding more and more and inconsistent of guarantees while offering performance. Just look at the deal Greg Ostertag was given. Then he caves in to Lakers' O'Neal intimidation and just can't block, n dollar player slux)t, rebound or steal. What good is a who cant rise above a cheap shot? Then there are coaches getting beat up, or openly defied by players who arc paid exponentially more money. There are players who don't show' up for practices, knowing that if the coach wants to win, he's going to have to play him regardless of the team rules. If the coach doesn't win games, he loses his job. The contract so what does he care? player is locked into a five-yeThe owners have to do something to get their hands on the wheel of this vehicle. The players are too young and immature to understand that their party days are bringing down the very thing giving them such a thrilling lifestyle. The ones who are old enough to know whats about to happen to the game they love, are considered spoilers. Karl Malone was given undeserved bad press for getting on Ostertags case for showing and obviously not prepared to play. up The look on John Stockton's face as he sat courtside while his knee was mending, as well as the quality of his game after he rejoined the team on the floor told his own story of desire to get in the game, to do well for the team, and for the community. If the attitude of Stockton could be cloned into the two players who almost got traded away from the Jazz, it wouldn't matter that their skill doesn't carry the genius of Michael Jordan. I he talent they have would be put into action and be sufficient for championships. It is the prevai ling attitude of the average NBA player which will destroy the spoil and cost the Jazz the championship this High School Region 12 Basketball Roundup I two-bloc- ut ff multi-millio- ar get-it-do- year. he wasps are circling overhead.
