" Arroyo said Autograph seekers are an undethe-radapart of the NBA territory like practices and media sessions Virtually everywhere players go kids are waiting with trading cards or dealers are wait ing with stacks of photos When team buses pull up to hotels there are normally a handful of collectors standing on the sidewalk though for the Jazz their numbers have declined greatly since Karl Malone and John Stockton departed When athletes walk into a restaurant for dinner most expect an interruption or two And when players walk off the court after pregame warmups swarms of wide-eyeyoungsters in their heroes' jerseys lean over railings Sharpies in hand begging for a signature "I get it a lot especially when I go out to dinner" Stevenson said "I like it It's part of our job I wish some people would be respectful about it not ask at weird times but I'm always cool about it I'll sign" "I consider it an honor to be asked" said Arroyo who tries never to turn down an even the guy autograph-seeke- r in the restroom "It's a sign of respect I put myself in their situation — it's not something I would feel comfortable about doing So I know it's not easy but that's how strongly they feel And that means something to r 4 WU 19 (0w9119 UAW (10471) 11 7 Hnuishan Obroch1 600 110 11 11 PatJ73125 Know 24 04 4 Onage ATHA 2 2 10 14 Wore 014 00 SHAN!) 3 04? 7043 1319 (134 44) 0 Hutton 14 30 C Cooke 04040 MOH 814 TAMA 23 4 04 Canko K 1S22 S Thornosn 04 00 0 HAW To" 784S IS17 -- SUU MK 38 MC 010)4AAn Warner 13 iiitAi(n 1114KC 42 Rebound& 12 Won 12 (14000 Asemb—UTAKC 27 Go3 B Iltroosoint Goal— Swear° 34 BAH 14) 10apt0-Cooke SUU 44 7)4 (Tres 11) Cock S) 14 (C SUU 41 Westminster 75 Great rails 51 liebekah Steenblik scored 24 points as the Griffins moved to 61 in the Frontier Conference with a victory at l'ayne Gym Westminster pulled away after at halftime "1 leading only just told the girls to he more aggressive and not be afraid to make plays" said coach Daron Park 29-2- GREAT FALLS reemn S kPhotson Wye) t 00 3 BM 00 00 0 13 A9419 4 fie WESTIONSTER 14 1424 14 22 74 74 - 11119119-- Viestiwvito 29 ails 3 1 919von dB 2b Z1 II Wed 1400 3 (7 00 4 (ram 12 kont 01) ongl II Own 041 45 139 Man 00 0 Teak Smolt& 041 0 Crum b Barney 01 JoBnouri layinn 8 He NW 2 51 41) 1444641 &II Emitel 00 0 00 2 leny 00 2 Dodge 29 11919inin Wortininow 34 Crump swan 7 n 543 GO E J01491c41 24 8 Honeto 041 built on your level lot including concrete floor Any size available T PI' i t1 CADEM1 Aldred (9944971 ReboundsCIplon Austin 7 7) Ed' SdAtei 10 041171 WIPPIrinbillt 22 144199 I' 1 '4oalottl9 teetOte1 L — 7184433 itiLs7---- J 71c T -- rj ---i7 - -- '' --- 4 o C t -- " rr ' ' it! :7-7-- - -1 7P Il e - -- - t I ill - ri A 1 11 11 ' End SZL71110f Wan oohs et tPtC131 Spectil Pito tip WASS FOR WOMEN!

It takes a second or two and it can change someone's whole day" It can take a player's whole day though if your name is "Ostertag" or "Borchardt" or "Aleksandar Pavlovic" Just imagine being named "Ruben Jazz phlyers don't mind obliging autograph seekers ' t ' - '':' 404ke '' r :-- ( :- - ' ' 1 ':' l' A k Boumtje-Boumtje4 ' ti'''' i 'II d" '1) 1 ' 4 I mini basketball is not an unusual item for an autograph unlike some other things Jazz players have been asked to sign A must be a basketball player just because he's 7 feet tall "You can tell by how they try to read the name when they walk away" he said Or Raul Lopez occasionally recognized in Spain but rarely bothered for his signature "In Spain soccer is everything" pez said "Basketball players are like 'Who are you again?' Jazz coach Jerry Sloan recognizes that particular phenomenon when people see others ask for his autograph so they ask too "I've heard people say Who is that guy?' " Sloan said "People see someone else getting an autograph and ifs like a herd mentality" In general the Jazz are extremely obliging when it comes to autographs though Kirilenko has a policy - a superstition against signing actually games "It takes my luck away" he insists Most other players though take a few minutes before games or in hotel lobbies to mingle with fans and sign a few autographs In part it's because some of them used to ask athletes for signatures when they were kids And at least one Jazz player still does "Karl Malone told me my rookie year that basketball is going to go by fast so you should have something to show for it" said Stevenson "Karl has a lot of things signed from people he played against and e they looked pretty cool in his house" Now Stevenson has a collection of his own jerseys and shoes mostly Ile's got a pair of Walt Frazier shoes and a Tracy McCrady jersey Ile asked Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson to sign memorabilia which he displays in his home There's one of Malone's USA Olympic jerseys and a pair of Stockton's shoes "I get things here and there whenever I can Just people the legends" Stevenson said "I want to remember all the famous people I've met" Even Sloan as unsentimental about basketball as they come once asked for autographs: He had Stockton and Malone sign jerseys for him Arroyo was too shy as a child to ever approach a Puerto Rican hero for an autograph though he did once ask R Kelly to sign his locker at Florida International after the R8L11 music star stopped by the campus to play in a pickup game But the Jazz guard's feelings about signing for fans was cemented after a game in the Puerto Rican League Told that a young girl was waiting outside for his autograph Arroyo had her brought in to the team's family waiting room while he got dressed When Arroyo arrived he found her standing in a corner crying "She's over there sobbing and I said 'Did someone do big-nam- e Arroyo used to practice his signature when he was growing up a habit that has produced a signature In something of a cultural difference Arroyo and Lopez say they are asked to pose for photos by Spanish-speakinfans almost as frequently as they are asked to sign autographs Particularly in road arenas fans bring Puerto Rican or Spanish flags and use them as props in a photo Arroyo never fails to stop for a flag — "That makes me feel so proud" he said Signing autographs is so generally accepted by Jazz players (who face about one percent of the demand that the Lakers do of course) that they even tolerate the bane of pro athletes: the dealer There can be a lot of money in selling autographs so professionals stake out lobbies and arenas to increase their inventory "That's what bothers you sometimes -- - you sign for people and the next day it's for sale on the Internet" Sloan said "These guys have stacks of cards for you to sign and then they get upset If you don't John and Karl got that a lot — they stop and sip'' and right away it's for sale somewhere" Yep there's value in autographs and a habitual junk collector like Sloan knows it as well as anybody While scrounging around a garage sale just last month the coach came lithoupon a limited-editiograph signed by the Lakers' five Hall of Famers four of whom he played against "I'm not a collector but I know when something is worth a little money So I bought it for $20" Sloan said "I'll sell it to you for $1000" g n pmiller(asitribcom RmiuoN Z10736 SUZUKI S State $ YEAR END 888-32538- CLOSEOUT!!
