However, it isn't known if tho Chicago Bulla will bo able to live without him. Chicago plana to sign Scottio Pippen and then bade him to Houston for Roy Rogers, but tho Rockets aren't going to throw in Trigger' (Sorry, wrong Regers). Jordan is No. Ion my list. (I even have a kingsixe version ofhim in my basement. He was featured in the Uintah Basin Standard last year -just in time for the NBA Finals.) However, the old Utah Stare, who won the ABA championship in 197 1. are still tops in tho hearts of Utah fans. The Stars departed and attention moved tothe Jan, but although Karl Malone, John Stockton have prwridedlappy days they have come up short two years in a row. Old Stare consisted of Zelmo Besty, Willie Wise, Red Robbins, Ron Boone, Glenn Coombo, Mere Jackson. In 1974 I took my brother to a Stars game vs. the San Diego Conquistore, who had aa their main attraction. Wilt Chamberlain not aa a player, but a coach. Wondrous Willie was a complete unknown when he broke into tho pro ranks back in 1969. but even though ho was a smart player, who did all tho wise things for a winning club, ho will never be included in the same breath with Michael Jordan or even Kari Malone or the bi lam one Dennis Rodman. Wise played college ball for Drake I've seen Jordan in person, but miles away in the nose bleed secgame tion during the 1993 All-Stand the 1997 Finals. Before Jordan had made his big splash in the NBA, the main man mi the floor was Dr. J, and he wasn't even a real doctor like Roosevelt's Dr. B. Dr. J was a surgeon on the floor as he cut and diced hia war to mqjor hoop production, and years later I even got to shake his hand. It was time for the 1993 game, but the day before they had special events with autographs, games, a card show, etc. 1 stood in a line for Reggie Jackson's autograph. I struck out. He was a Mary Lou, the gymnast, was available, but it was like, Who Cares. a rock and roll group, were at the main table, but they were only signing their first names. A collector was stuck with stuff like Hi FYom Joe, and How You Doing ar All-St- mine. Jordan ia the best, but he lacks he doesn't hare sry one thing hair. Hair isn't the reason for Jordan's great play, but 1 will never forget Dr Js afro, which made the hair style famous in the late 197 Os. like Jordan did for baldness ir. the 1990a.
