Page said Malone handed her the basketball 1 uesday at the Delta Center before a crowd of 12.500 after speaking at Success 98, a motivational fair held annually in Salt Lake City. Page said she put her amis out in front of her to form a hoop, asking Malone to shoot for two, when he walked up and gave her the basketball. He said, You remind me of my mother. She use to do that, Page said Malone told her. It made my day, said Page, 56, who took the basketball home to show her grandchildren, who she plays basketball with weekly. County Clerk Margene Isom, who was with Page when she received the ball, couldn't believe Pages good fortune considering she was sitting in one of the four front row seats she had bought only because another of her friends couldnt make the event. He signed it and he put number 32 on it. The reason she got it was because she was wearing a bright red dress, Isom said. Isom said those sitting around Page then began asking her who Page was and why she was chosen out of 1 2,500 people to receive the one basketball Malone handed out. So much attention was given to Page and the basketball that she asked others she was with to get a bag that she could put the ball in to divert some of the attention away from her. Page said at the success fair officials also gave away a trip to Disneyland, but being a big fan of the Utah Jazz and a former Bountiful High basketball player, she would rather have the basketball. Little docs (Malone) know, I'm a good basketball player. I can still make a basket, Page said. She just doesn't know if she is going to use the hall Malone gave her to do it. It's mine.
