Yes.  The only one I can think of for sure right now is BJ Armstrong.  He's
always popping it out of his mouth when play stops.  I've seen other players
wearing them, but I don't remember which ones.  I think Cliff Levingston
wore one and put it inside his sock when he wasn't in the game.

  I also sympathize with his wife because she walked blindly into this
major life change.  She didn't know he had it, she didn't have it, and its
a strong possiblity her and their child might contract it if they haven't 
already. Plus the fact that the disease hibernates for a period of time before
it hits you makes matters worse. All because her mate had a wild time before
they were married.  I think the way he has handled the entire situation has
kept his image virtually untarnished, he was upfront didn't try to hide anything
. And with this interview he appears to be doing the same thing, being upfront.
He said,".....He lived all his dreams and wasn't careful and now I'm paying for
that...". He is being accused of giving the HIV virus to a resident of Michigan
I can't remember the exact date of the allegation, but I hope it was before
his marriage. If it was during his marriage, I think it would really crush his
image.

This is interesting in light of the following blurb from today's
Columbus Dispatch:

    Some of the Cleveland Cavaliers say they might feel comfortable
    if the NBA required AIDS [really HIV] testing, even though the 
    players' union doesn't agree.

    "I'm all for AIDS testing," said power forward Larry Nance, who
    will begin his 12th NBA season Friday night. "The odds are low
    you are going to get it playing basketball, but I'd still like to
    see testing."

Unspoken but implicit in this comment is the sentiment that HIV
positive players should be banned from the league.  It's nice to see
Larry continue a career that he would needlessly deny others.  I'd
advise Mr. Nance that if he's so concerned about acquiring HIV on the
basketball court he should retire.

There was a point guard named Kevin Porter, who played for Portland
during 70's.

And that Porter is not related to neither Kevin Johnson and Terry
Porter.

Byron Houston has done a good job with the Warriors playing at power
forward.  He is the Warriors' strongest player and provides a tough
physical presence that the Warriors otherwise lack.  He has shown himself
to be a very good defensive player, with the ability to guard much bigger
players.  He is a very quick player for his size and has very long
arms (a 7 foot wingspan).  All these factors contribute a strong rebounding
game.

In the first regular season with Utah, he drew the task of
guarding Karl Malone.  Malone had a difficult time establishing position in
the paint with Houston on him.  On one memorable play, with both players
pushing for position, Malone was sent sprawling to the floor.
In his second game against Minnesota, he played the last 20 minutes of the 
game, including the entire overtime.  His two rebounds at the end of the game
preserved the Warriors' win.  

Houston's weakness is on the offensive end.  He is not used to running the
floor, although he has the speed to do so, and on the Warriors, forwards
must fill the lanes on the break.  Also, he has had difficulty scoring
against taller players close to the basket.  He has not tried many
outside shots, although it is reported in practice that he has a decent shot.
Houston will not score much this year.

Eek!  The 'E' word!  The key phrase in that is '...these teams feel...'
They may think so, but it's not that true.  There's still room for more
good talent in the NBA.

     I saw that too.  I couldn't believe it, dissin'
Charles in his first game in his new arena.  I think
it's one reason Charles was celebrating so much when
he dunked and the Suns finally broke it open in the
last minute.

three's in a row early in the fourth quarter, I found

I saw this interview a couple of days ago.  I'm not sure where it was, I
saw it very late at night, it may have been ESPN.  Anyway, the part of the 
interview that you are talking about started when the interviewer asked
Magic about his new book.  In it, he apparently described sexual encounters
with women in elevators, offices and with several women at once (six!).
The part that you describe was when Magic was talking about having sex 
with a woman in an office next to a board room.  Magic said that he didn't
want to have sex with her because of the proximity of the board room(full
of people), but that "she had that look" and told him that she didn't have
any panties on.  He said that he fulfilled her fantasy because that's what
Magic does.

I was disturbed by the whole interview because Magic was basically bragging
about these encounters, yet he tried to make it sound like he simply did
them in order to fulfill these women's fantasies.  The interviewer had to
press him to admit that sex with several women was actually *his* fantasy.

The rest of the interview wasn't much better since Magic started
complaining about how his career ended, saying things like, "John Wayne
would have gone out the way he wanted to."

Early in the interview, they recapped Magic's career with highlights from
games and film of him with his family.  Then they asked him about why he was
leaving the league.  I don't think that he answered the question, but he did
say that he was not gay.  He said that notion was ridiculous and "if Magic
was gay, everyone would know it."

Oh yeah, this interview was on one of the network, early morning news
shows, because after the interview, one of the newscasters, a woman,
was visibly shocked by the things that Magic had said.  I really don't 
think that Magic helped his image much.

Yeah, it was one of the few times that Scott has driven the lane
and not turned the ball over or been called for charging. A clutch
play (read luck play) to be sure.

Sedale Threatt was OUTSTANDING. MARVELOUS. Seemingly hitting
the jumper or driving to the hoop almost whenever he wanted.
I hope he starts wanting to more often. He also (with help)
forced Tim Hardaway into playing a lousy game. I know the Lakers
now have 3 co-captains, but I think Sedale should be the fourth.
I'd like to see him take up more of the leadership gap which the
team is experiencing, and I think he is a great role model for
the young guards (Peeler and Cooper) because his game is so complete.

And yeah, they should have redshirted Divac, contract and all.....

Last night I heard Scott Layden (Director of Jazz personel) discussing
the Mourning contract. He went on to say the Faulk had a real unique deal
going with NIKE and the Hornets. He said NIKE guarentee $16.million over
either 4 or 5 years to Mourning and the Hornets pay and make the check of
the contract between Mourning & Hornets to NIKE.
Is this a scam or what of beating the salary cap or not!

So if the Hornets negioiate a $2.million a year contract with Mourning, NIKE
will pay the difference up to $16.million from either $8.mill or $10.mill.

Are there any other details anyone has???
