Give me your autograph. . . . Magic coached just long enough and has been in the front office just long enough to know how frustrating it is for players who once controlled a game to accept that they can change things slowly, and indirectly. Michael is a champion and a winner, and he'll win at this. Magic, Jordan and Bird experience is the way the game has changed, specifically with stardom being more important than professionalism or even winning in many cases. Magic talked about the way he added a hook shot to his game and increased the range on his set shot, the way Jordan added three-point shooting and then a fadeaway, the way Bird became as efficient with his left hand as with his right.

If you lost, you might have to sit out half an hour before you could get back on the court.
